The Indian Poultry Alliance (IPA), a subsidiary of the Allana Group, said it is all set to achieve a topline of ₹800 crore in its first year of operations. IPA had launched its operations in November 2024 at Poultry India, where Allana Group committed $1,200 million (approx. ₹1,000 crore) to create a fully integrated poultry venture with nationwide reach.
Since November last year, IPA has rapidly expanded its presence across Kishanganj, Zaheerabad, Coimbatore, and Aligarh through an integrated model spanning breeder farms, hatcheries, feed plants, broiler contract farming, value-added lines, and rendering units. The expansion includes ₹300 crore acquisition of Kwality Animal Feeds Pvt Ltd in March 2025, with an additional ₹200 crore earmarked for scaling operations. Kwality’s stronghold in West and South India, long-standing QSR partnerships, and advanced feed capabilities have significantly boosted IPA’s production capacity and market reach, the company said in a statement.
Chittranjan Behl, Chairman, IPA said “Gearing to touch ₹800 crore in our first year is a reflection of the structural change we are working to unlock in India’s poultry sector. Our integrated model, rapid geographic expansion, and strategic acquisitions are building the foundation for India’s transition from a fragmented, wet-market-led supply chain to a modern, processed poultry ecosystem. As consumer demand for safety, consistency, and convenience accelerates, IPA is positioned to set new benchmarks and shape the industry’s trajectory for the next decade.”
Leveraging investment
Looking ahead, IPA is building a network of seven state-of-the-art processing plants supported by Allana Group’s established cold chain, reefer transport, waste management, and export infrastructure. By year-end, it will also roll out an integrated protein retail distribution platform for chicken, seafood, and lamb, leveraging the Allana Group’s nationwide network of 4,000 retail stores, the company said.
The company also plans to leverage its $120 million investment to establish a greenfield processing plant, adding organic capacity alongside the company’s inorganic growth initiatives. All of this will enable the company to make processed chicken among the most cost-competitive in the country and accelerate adoption, it said.
India’s poultry market, valued at ₹2,304 billion in 2024, is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.6 per cent to ₹8,430 billion by 2033, driven in part by a rapid shift from wet-market chicken to safer, more consistent, and convenient processed formats. Despite this trend, processed poultry currently accounts for only 10 per cent of the market. IPA aims to double this share to 20 per cent by 2030, while targeting a company topline of ₹2,000 crore by 2027.
