Shalimar: A Success Story in India's Poultry Industry SHALIMAR GROUP OF COMPANIES, a customer of Meyn based in Kolkata, India, is a perfect example of a company that has followed the typical growth strategy in the country. Starting with a small plant, the company expanded as per market conditions and has now become a fully integrated company that engages in various aspects of the poultry industry. From its origins as a feed manufacturing company, Shalimar has now become a leader in broiler breeding, hatching, farming, processing, and distribution. Meyn received its first order from Shalimar in 2011, and since then, the company has doubled its capacity twice, with the latest expansion in 2021, bringing it to a maximum capacity of 6,000 birds per hour.

Meyn India leads the market with over 50% market share. In 2022, Meyn received an order for a new plant in North India with a capacity of 3,000 birds per hour, expandable to 6,000 birds per hour, which is currently in production. The changing market conditions will allow companies like Shalimar to expand more rapidly than in the previous decade.
