The company has launched Calci+, a calcium-fortified milk brand, and plans this week to unveil low-salt butter.


Later this month, Amul will also start selling probiotic yoghurt, R. S. Sodhi, the company’s chief general manager, told just-food today (15 January).


Sodhi said: “As far as India is concerned probiotic products are a new product. The market is fresh with lots of potential but needs to be educated about its health benefits. Having other players in this segment is good for all.”
