Nestle India has commenced manufacturing of Maggi noodles at Pantnagar factory in Uttarakhand. This is the fourth factory that is currently manufacturing Maggi noodles after Nanjangud (Karnataka), Moga (Punjab) and Bicholim (Goa) factories.
The commencement of production at Pantnagar will have a positive and rejuvenating economic impact across the supply chain. Suppliers, vendors, distributors, retailers, kiosks which sell prepared Maggi noodles and service providers are in the process of reinstating and re-activating the systems and processes, the company said.
“Over the past 32 years, Maggi noodles has become the most relevant, trusted and valuable food brand in India. As we welcome back Maggi noodles, we have currently reached out to more than 600 towns and cities, covered about two lakh outlets and have sold over 4.5 crore packs. The re-launch has had a refreshing effect upon employees and across the supply chain as thousands of farmers, distributors, suppliers and retailers are happy to be part of this,” Nestle India Chairman and Managing Director Suresh Narayanan said.
Today, the entire ecosystem including our employees and stakeholders are extremely happy and humbled to have been able to return to the consumers their favorite Maggi noodles Masala. We are hopeful that this journey will help us re-calibrate, re-charge and re-focus on the brand, Narayanan added. It is yet to start production in Tahliwal (Himachal Pradesh).
We are engaging with the authorities and other stakeholders for necessary clearance. While sales are allowed in most of the states, for some States where we still require necessary clearance, we are engaging with the authorities, the company added.
In the past few weeks, the company has been in active engagement with the authorities and has provided all the documents and clarifications, before commencement of production. The ban order imposed by the Government of Uttarakhand was only upto September 30, 2015, and the order passed by Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) has been set aside by Bombay High Court. Nestlé has fully complied with the directions of Bombay High Court before commencement of manufacture and sales, the company said.
