General Mills India, part of U.S.-based Fortune 500 food major General Mills Inc., has inaugurated a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Nashik, Maharashtra, marking a significant expansion of its footprint in India. The new unit reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to the country’s rapidly growing food and bakery sector.
Built with an investment of approximately Rs 100 crore, the facility is General Mills’ second plant in Nashik. Designed with advanced manufacturing technologies and aligned to global quality standards, the plant places strong emphasis on food safety, consistent product quality and responsible resource utilisation.
The expansion is expected to strengthen the supply chain for the company’s flagship brand, Pillsbury, by reducing lead times and improving product availability across India. Enhanced distribution will support thousands of bakeries nationwide, enabling them to leverage Pillsbury’s quality and reliability to grow their businesses and meet rising consumer demand.
Beyond operational benefits, the new plant is set to generate significant economic impact in the region. It has already created multiple direct and indirect employment opportunities across manufacturing, logistics and support services, contributing to local skill development and livelihoods in Nashik. Increased procurement of raw materials and related services is also expected to boost local suppliers and ancillary industries.
“We're extremely proud to increase the availability of Pillsbury products across the country with the opening of our new plant in Nashik,” said Balki Radhakrishnan, vice president and managing director of Global Emerging Markets at General Mills. “Since 1999, our Pillsbury brand has been offering delicious, quality and convenient baking mixes in India. This expansion allows us to serve our consumers and bakery partners better, faster, and at greater scale.”
The inauguration ceremony was attended by senior company leaders, officials from the U.S. Consulate in Mumbai and representatives from the Government of Maharashtra, underscoring the strategic importance of the investment.
