Godrej Agrovet to Invest ₹960 Crore in Pet Food and Agri Processing — Pet Care Becomes Core Business Focus.

Godrej Agrovet has signed a ₹960 crore Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Food Processing Industries to establish advanced food manufacturing and R&D facilities across Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Telangana, Tripura, and Maharashtra. Notably, the agreement identifies pet food as one of two strategic focus areas, alongside oil palm.

This development marks a major shift for the company—signaling that pet care is no longer a peripheral experiment but a core business vertical within its agri-food ecosystem. Rather than introducing a new consumer brand, Godrej Agrovet is expanding its long-term manufacturing and innovation capabilities, firmly positioning pet food as a growth driver in its diversified portfolio.

Petzcareindia Analysis:

Petzcareindia notes this as a case study in how FMCG giants are validating pet food as a core revenue and innovation pillar—not just a sideline category. Godrej’s strategy could accelerate market formalization, raise quality standards, and drive consumer education, directly addressing the gaps (nutritional and market) that persist with home-cooked pet diets.​

With pet food now a headline growth lever, Godrej Agrovet is not only expanding its agri-business legacy but setting a new standard for scale, science, and trust in Indian pet care.
