HyFun Foods and Maersk have inaugurated one of India's largest cold storage facilities in Mehsana, Gujarat. The 260,000 sq. ft. facility with capacity for 14,700 pallet positions strengthens HyFun Foods' cold chain and frozen potato logistics.

HyFun Foods has secured INR 1,500 crore (USD 173 million) from Davidson Kempner through a structured credit transaction. The funding will support expansion plans and strengthen the Indian frozen potato processor's balance sheet.

HyFun Foods partnered with Adani Logistics Ltd and EVERGREEN LINE to launch a reefer rail export network from ICD Virochannagar to Mundra Port, strengthening India’s cold chain and frozen exports.

Madhya Pradesh is emerging as a strategic hub for India’s French fry potato industry, driven by early harvests, suitable soil conditions, rising processor-grade cultivation, and expanding cold storage and agro-processing infrastructure.

HyFun Foods is investing USD 108 million in a new manufacturing facility in North Gujarat, expected to be ready by late 2026. This expansion will more than double its French fries capacity to 245,000 tonnes and potato specialties capacity to 40,000 tonnes.

One of the standout highlights of the first day of the Global Potato Summit 2025 was the Indian Potato Industry Excellence Awards, a platform created to honor leadership, innovation and impact across India’s potato value chain.
