Amul dairy braces for sales disruption due to straw ban


NEW DELHI: India’s US$8bil (RM33.8bil) Amul dairy group is bracing for disruptions and higher input costs for some products from July when the government’s ban on plastic straws kicks in.

India last week refused to waive an impending ban on straws that are packaged with small juice and milk beverage packs, stoking fears in the US$790mil (RM3.3bil) industry that includes players like PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, India’s Dabur and Parle Agro, Reuters reported.
