ITC expands Aashirvaad dairy business in eastern India
In short
ITC is growing its dairy business in eastern India through its Aashirvaad brand. The company is focusing on Bihar, West Bengal and Jharkhand, and the report says it became the second-largest dairy player in Bihar.
This matters because ITC is betting on more demand for branded milk and value-added products like curd and paneer. The reporting does not give fresh sales numbers or expansion costs.
What the reporting says
ITC is strengthening its fresh dairy business in Eastern India through its Aashirvaad brand, according to the available summary.

The reporting says ITC is now the second-largest dairy player in Bihar, but it does not give new sales or investment figures.
Why it matters
