Godrej Agrovet, one of the companies from the house of Godrej, is travelling against the tide on Monday, December 16. This came to pass, as the shares made gains in the intraday trading session. This surge in its prices is being attributed to the recent deal that the processing company bagged.
Godrej Agrovet Gets Land Allocation
The Gujarat government recently allotted land in three of its districts for the expansion of oil palm cultivation under the palm oil mission.
These three districts, Surat, Vadodara, and Tapi, are located in the southern part of the state, closer to Maharashtra.
This move is in line to make India more self-reliant, to meet its oil demands. India is the second-largest importer of oil in the world. In this, about 60 per cent of the country’s requirements are satisfied by imports from other countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia. Indonesia dominates the market.
