Pune, Maharashtra: Union Home Minister Amit Shah has set a December 2027 deadline for the National Heavy Engineering Cooperative (NHEC) plant in Talegaon Dabhade to resume production. The plant, which faced closure for years, is set to be revitalized with a ₹1,500 crore revival project. Shah performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the project, which aims to manufacture machinery for sugar factories, dairy processing, ethanol plants, and compressed biogas (CBG) facilities.
The 110-acre facility in Pune district will initially focus on producing sugar factory equipment, dairy processing machinery, and ethanol plant components. The revival project has received financial assistance from the Centre, with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Ministers Sunetra Pawar and Eknath Shinde highlighting the initiative's potential to create employment opportunities and strengthen the rural economy.
The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) will oversee the revival, with major cooperative institutions, including Amul, NAFED, IFFCO, NCDC, IPL, and NDDB, supporting the project. Shah expressed confidence that NHEC would become a successful cooperative institution similar to Amul, IFFCO, and KRIBHCO, and emphasized the potential for the plant to reduce imports and create jobs in the region.
