Solar power could expand India's dairy sector to underserved regions

India is the world's largest milk producer, yet dairy output remains concentrated in a small number of states. Expanding chilling infrastructure powered by solar energy could unlock opportunities for underserved regions to participate in the country's dairy sector growth.

Solar-powered systems offer a sustainable way to establish the cold chain infrastructure necessary for milk preservation and distribution. This approach could help dairy farming reach areas currently lacking adequate processing and storage facilities, potentially transforming regional agricultural economies.
