HAFED to set up modern mustard oil mill at Rewari

Haryana State Cooperative Supply and Marketing Federation Limited (HAFED) will set up a state-of-the-art mustard oil mill at Rampura in Rewari district, with an initial processing capacity of 150 TPD (tonne per day), 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 Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi here today.

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, which contribute nearly 60% of the state's rapeseed-mustard production. 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 the oilseed sector.
