Speaking to the media on Thursday, Mehta confirmed that while the initial stages of the war caused supply disruptions and shipment delays, the central government has given priority to Amul for gas supply.
"Despite the war conditions in the Gulf region, there is good news for India's dairy industry and farmers associated with Amul. The government has given Amul priority for gas supply, allocating 80&#37 of their requirement. This ensures that all dairy plants will operate without interruption. In case of any gaps, alternative fuels like diesel, furnace oil, and briquettes will be used to keep the plants running and maintain regular milk supply to the market," Mehta said.
Regarding exports to Gulf countries, Mehta stated that although there were initial supply disruptions and shipment delays at the start of the war, the central government has facilitated the dispatch of a new ship from India to Dubai.
"This ship carries several containers of Amul's dry products and refrigerated items, ensuring that <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/Better-saaf-than-sorry-Amul-raises-awareness-about-Coronavirus-prevention-22656243" rel="nofollow">Amul's supplies</a> to the Gulf market remain consistent," Mehta noted
