In a landmark development at the Invest Karnataka 2025 Global Investors Meet, Vijayapura has emerged as a major destination for large-scale investments, further solidifying Karnataka’s status as a preferred industrial hub. Spearheaded by Minister for Large and Medium Industries M B Patil, the region has attracted significant projects in agro-processing and renewable energy, paving the way for economic growth, employment generation, and sustainability.
The three-day Invest Karnataka 2025, held from February 12 to 14, 2025, played a crucial role in facilitating these strategic investments. It provided a robust platform for global and domestic investors to explore opportunities in Karnataka, fostering collaborations and partnerships across industries.
One of the most notable developments from the summit is the planned establishment of a state-of-the-art Multi Pulse Processing Plant by Wings – Viterra. With an installed capacity of 800 metric tonnes per day, the plant is expected to be developed in either Kalaburagi or Vijayapura. This facility will process key agricultural commodities, including Pigeon Peas (Tuvar), Chickpeas (Chana), Black Matpe (Urad), and Mungbeans (Moong).
With a proposed investment of Rs 250 crore, the plant is projected to achieve an annual turnover of over Rs 800 crore from its second year of operations. This will make it the largest pulse processing facility at a single location in South India, significantly boosting the agro-processing sector in the region.
The establishment of this facility is expected to generate significant local employment opportunities, particularly empowering women in the workforce. Additionally, the project will play a crucial role in rural economic development, as it will create dedicated collection centres for farmers. These centres will enable farmers to market their produce directly, ensuring ease of selling and higher revenue realisation. This initiative is poised to incentivise increased cultivation of select crops, reducing India’s dependency on pulse imports and fostering agricultural self-sufficiency.
With these strategic developments, Vijayapura is set to become a key driver of Karnataka’s industrial and agricultural progress, reinforcing the state’s commitment to sustainability, economic growth, and job creation. Invest Karnataka 2025 has once again proven to be a cornerstone event for attracting major investments and shaping the future of Karnataka’s industrial ecosystem.
