Designed to global standards and benchmarked against leading international players, Lohiya Confectionery's facility combines cutting-edge technology with sustainable operations, driven by an innovation-first mindset.
Spanning seven acres, the new high-speed automated facility boasts a production capacity of 1,000 tonnes per month, with modular capabilities that enable further scaling to 5000 tonnes per month. The ₹300 cr, four-year capital outlay is projected to create 6,000 new livelihoods, with 2,000 jobs on-site and an additional 4,000 across its extended supply and distribution ecosystem, underscoring the facility's potential as a local economic accelerator.
Speaking at the inauguration, Manisha Lohiya Lahoti, Managing Director of Lohiya Confectionery Pvt. Ltd. (LCPL), said, 'Our biscuits are crafted for joy and baked to a perfect balance of lingering mouthfeel, crunch, and crispiness. The symphony of high-quality ingredients, intricate designs, and advanced biotechnology in the manufacturing process makes the biscuits incredibly light, with a good sheen. From that first bite, every biscuit is crafted to unlock a memory — of school tiffins, chai time, or late-night indulgence.'
The diverse portfolio of Jubilo and Moi Moi biscuits is thoughtfully curated to suit evolving consumer preferences and capture the whole emotional and culinary arc of the Indian biscuit experience. Whether it's the nostalgic comfort of the humble, energy-rich glucose biscuit, the refined, airy, light, and delicate crunch of a Marie, the richly layered indulgence of chocolate and crème-filled cookies, or the crisp, golden crackers that elevate everyday occasions, there's something for everyone.
Mahaveer Lohiya, Managing Director of the Lohiya Group, shared, 'Lohiya Confectionery is more than a manufacturing unit; it is a statement of intent that uplifts the community. We're combining precision engineering with purposeful impact, creating a blueprint for food manufacturing that is as forward-looking as it is rooted in responsibility.'

Jaishankar meets European Commission chief von der Leyen in Belgium
'Pleased to call on @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen this morning. Welcomed her strong condemnation of terrorist attack in Pahalgam and solidarity in combatting terrorism,' he said in an X post. Jaishankar called on the top EU leader during his visit to Belgium and Luxembourg. Brussels, Jun 10 (PTI) External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday met European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen here and praised her 'strong condemnation' of the Pahalgam attack and solidarity in combating terrorism. The April 22 Pahalgam terror attack claimed 26 lives, following which tensions between India and Pakistan escalated. India carried out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7. During the meeting, Jaishankar and von der Leyen also discussed efforts that are underway to deepen the India-EU partnership. 'Agreed on the potential benefits of stronger cooperation in trade, technology, connectivity and security for both our regions,' Jaishankar added. Von der Leyen also took to X after the meeting and said, 'The EU-India strategic partnership is getting stronger.' 'We're working on a Strategic Agenda based on growth with an ambitious FTA, tech & innovation and security & defence. I look forward to adopting it with @narendramodi at our next Summit,' she said. In June 2022, India and the 27-nation bloc resumed negotiations for a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement, an investment protection agreement and a pact on Geographical Indications after a gap of over eight years. The negotiations stalled in 2013 due to differences over the level of opening up of the markets. On February 28, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and European Commission chief agreed to seal the much-awaited free trade deal by the end of this year. Jaishankar met members of the European Parliament on Monday along with the Indian Ambassador to the EU, Belgium and Luxembourg, Saurabh Kumar. In a post on X, he said it was 'good to meet' David McAllister, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, Sandro Gozi, Chair of the Delegation to EU-UK Parliamentary Assembly, and Greek parliamentarian Nikos Papandreou. The meetings followed an interaction with members of the Indian community on Monday evening. Earlier in the day, Jaishankar held wide-ranging discussions with his Belgium counterpart Maxime Prevot on deepening bilateral cooperation, including in trade, investment, technology, defence and security, clean energy and mobility. During his week-long tour of Europe, Jaishankar will also hold talks with leaders of the European Union and France to boost bilateral ties and reaffirm India's policy of zero-tolerance against terrorism.

'India projected to maintain fastest growth rate': World Bank holds FY26 growth at 6.3%; global growth rate forecast cut to 2.3%
India will remain the fastest-growing major economy in 2025–26 with a projected GDP expansion of 6.3%, the World Bank said in its latest Global Economic Prospects report, while warning that rising global trade barriers and weaker demand from key export partners are likely to dampen external sector momentum. The projection for India remains unchanged from the World Bank's April estimate but marks a downward revision from the earlier January forecast of 6.7%. The multilateral lender cited subdued industrial growth and soft export demand as key reasons for the downgrade, though construction, services and rural consumption were seen holding steady, PTI reported. 'India is projected to maintain the fastest growth rate among the world's largest economies,' the World Bank stated, noting that even with the pressures on trade, the Indian economy's fundamentals remain relatively strong. The global outlook, however, was more pessimistic. The World Bank cut its forecast for global GDP growth in 2025 to 2.3%, down from 2.7% in January. It described this as the weakest performance in 17 years outside of full-blown recessions, attributing the slowdown to policy uncertainty and fragmentation in trade relations—particularly amid heightened tariff actions by the US under President Donald Trump. The Bank also said that average global growth in the first seven years of the 2020s could be the slowest since the 1960s if current conditions persist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Around 70% of global economies saw their forecasts revised down across all regions and income levels. For India, the World Bank expects GDP growth to accelerate slightly to an average of 6.6% over FY27–28, aided by a rebound in exports, especially in services, and continued momentum in construction and consumption. Last week, the Reserve Bank of India retained its GDP forecast for FY26 at 6.5%, citing macroeconomic resilience amid global headwinds. World Bank analysts added that resolving current trade disputes—potentially by halving tariff levels—could raise global growth by 0.2 percentage points over 2025 and 2026. They advised developing economies to diversify trade and pursue broader liberalization to counter the fallout from protectionist measures.

BigBasket plans to launch 10-minute food delivery by March 2026 to compete with quick commerce rivals
The Tata Group-backed online e-commerce platform BigBasket plans to launch its 10-minute food delivery services across India by the end of the financial year 2025-26, to compete against other quick commerce rivals in the Indian market, reported the news agency Reuters, citing co-founder Vipul Parekh. According to the agency report, the grocery giant is planning to take on Swiggy's Snacc, Blinkit's Bistro and Zepto Cafe, which are currently delivering food and snack items to consumers in less than 15 minutes. The co-founder told the agency that the company aims to target the customer base of other firms like Swiggy and Zomato while also accessing a new pool of customers. As companies shift to the booming quick commerce industry, big firms like Blinkit, Swiggy, Flipkart, and Zepto are already competing against each other to capture higher market share. BigBasket also plans to use dark stores to roll out its upcoming 10-minute food delivery services. The small warehouses, which are used to store the items required for the delivery, are also known as a 'dark store' where riders show up with their two-wheelers to pick up groceries or food for the delivery to the designated customer. The company plans to expand its dark store operations to 1,000-1,200 stores by the end of 2025, compared to its current level of 700 stores across the nation, according to the agency report. BigBasket reportedly launched its pilot food delivery service in Bengaluru one month ago and now plans to expand its operations to 40 dark stores by the end of July 2025, according to the agency report, citing the co-founder. Vipul Parekh, the co-founder of BigBasket, is now in charge of the company's marketing and finance functions, according to his LinkedIn profile. Data shows that 5 to 10 per cent of BigBasket's customers are opting to combine quick-food items with their normal online orders. The company expects this number to further rise in the upcoming time period, as per the news report. Customers using this facility will be able to access Starbucks to Qmin, both Tata Group's coffee and food businesses. According to the news agency's report, no other restaurants will be partnered with the quick commerce service. However, the co-founder rejected the claims of BigBasket seeking external investors for fundraising and said that the company reportedly plans to go public in the next 18 to 24-month period. 'One of the advantages we have is, being a part of Tata Group, you have enough internal capital available,' said Parekh, cited in the news agency's report.
