New Delhi, Nov 30 (KNN) The small four millers, supplying maida to Maggi plants, has resumed their production in Kolhapur. The 5-month closure of the plant has incurred them a loss of nearly 30-40 lakh and cutting down their production by more than 50 per cent.
The flour and spices suppliers to Nestle are mostly from the small and medium enterprises (SME) sector in India. Bringing in much relief to them, Nestle India today said it has resumed production of Maggi noodles at all five facilities in India.
“Nestle India has resumed the production of Maggi again. The move has really brought big relief to us,” Managing Director of Panchganga Roller Flour Mills, D Manikchand told KNN.
“In last 5 months, ban on Maggi caused us a loss of Rs 30-40 lakh. The production had also gone down by less than 50 per cent,’ he added.
Nestle, which relaunched Maggi noodles on November 9 after a five-month ban, has started production of Maggi noodles.
Nestle manufacturers Maggi noodles at its plants in Nanjangud (Karnataka), Moga (Punjab) Bicholim (Goa) and Tahliwal and Pantnagar in Himachal Pradesh.
"The company has resumed manufacturing of Maggi noodles at its Tahliwal (Himachal Pradesh) factory. With this, the company has resumed manufacture of Maggi noodles at all five noodle manufacturing facilities," Nestle said in a BSE filing.
“Maggi has placed an order of 500 tonnes of Maida to us. It got really difficult to sustain the labours because we didn’t want to take away their jobs,” Manikchand said.
“Now, 100 per cent production is going on in our mill. There is one more mill based in the city, which too supplies maida to Maggi. It has also resumed its production,” he added.
Last week, the Swiss food major had started production of Maggi noodles from its fourth plant at Pantnagar in Uttarakhand.
In June, FSSAI had banned Maggi noodles, saying it was "unsafe and hazardous" for consumption after finding lead content beyond permissible limits.
Nestle India, which took a hit of Rs. 450 crore including destroying over 30,000 tonnes of the instant noodles since June when it was banned because of alleged excessive lead content, had stated that it would continue with the existing formula of the product and would not change the ingredients.
