Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
The Haryana State Cooperative Supply and Marketing Federation Limited (HAFED) will set up of a state-of-the-art Mustard Oil Mill at Rampura in Rewari district, with an initial processing capacity of 150 TPD (expandable up to 300 TPD). The project will be executed on a Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. The information was shared during a meeting chaired by Haryana Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi here today.
It was informed that the plant is expected to be operational within 18 months from the date of award of contract, ensuring world-class processing standards and efficient supply chain management.
The Rampura site enjoys strategic advantages, drawing from key mustard-producing districts such as Bhiwani, Mahendragarh, Hisar, Rohtak, Jhajjar, and Rewari. Together, these districts contribute nearly 60% of Haryana’s total rapeseed-mustard production, ensuring strong raw material availability. With an annual requirement of 45,000 MT—around 10% of the catchment’s availability—the plant is well positioned for consistent operations.
The proposed site lies within a 200 km radius of the catchment area, supported by excellent road and rail connectivity. This will enable smooth procurement, transportation, and distribution, strengthening the competitiveness of Haryana’s oilseed sector.
Additional Chief Secretary, Town & Country Planning and Urban Estates Department, AK Singh, Additional Chief Secretary, Cooperation, Sh. Vijayendra Kumar, Managing Director, HAFED, Mukul Kumar and other senior officers were present in the meeting.
