Anmol Feeds, a leading player in the livestock and fish feed industry, is projecting a steady annual revenue growth of 10 to 15 percent. With its current turnover pegged at Rs. 650 crore, the company is eyeing further expansion through strategic investments in greenfield projects and expanding its product range.
