Mumbai, 4 August 2025: Khetika, one of India’s largest clean and healthy food brands in the staples category, has announced the launch of its new manufacturing facility today. The facility is dedicated exclusively to its fresh product category, including preservative-free batters and chutneys. Located in Taloja Industrial Area, near Panvel, Maharashtra, the facility strategically positions the brand to serve the growing demand in Western India better.
Spread across 5,000 sq. ft., the Mumbai plant is equipped with cutting-edge automation and modular infrastructure to support not just high-volume production but also future innovation in the fresh product space. The unit manufactures 11 SKUs from Khetika’s FRESH range and can produce up to 20 tons of batter daily. This capacity is expected to scale further in alignment with consumer demand.
“This launch marks a pivotal milestone in Khetika’s journey of bringing clean, honest, and authentic Indian food closer to urban kitchens,” said Dr. Prithwi Singh, Co-founder and CEO of Khetika. “The Mumbai facility allows us to reduce turnaround time significantly, ensuring that our zero-preservative products reach consumers within 24 hours of production. More importantly, it reinforces our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and farm-to-fork freshness.”
Khetika’s clean-label promise continues to be powered by direct sourcing from farmers across India, such as turmeric from Sangli, chillies from Guntur, and moong from Rajasthan. This ensures the best ingredients and fresh product from their native regions while supporting farming communities.
The plant strengthens Khetika’s existing hub-and-spoke model and streamlines operations for faster, fresher distribution. Mumbai’s access to high-demand consumption zones and key logistics corridors will enable the facility to boost supply chain efficiency, reduce cost-to-serve, and enable regional scalability.
The new facility uses recyclable packaging in line with the company’s sustainability vision. It is gradually transitioning its last-mile logistics fleet to electric vehicles (EVs), supporting the brand’s broader zero-waste and low-emissions goals.
