Rohtak Desi Ghee Murrah Buffalo Dairy

Contributed by Swadesi Editorial Team

Rohtak district in central Haryana is a major Murrah buffalo dairying zone where progressive farmers keep herds of 10 to 30 Murrah buffaloes and produce premium desi ghee from the bilona churning method, selling at Rs 800 to 1,200 per kilogram to health-conscious urban buyers in Delhi NCR and Gurugram. The Rohtak-Delhi highway provides daily milk and ghee transport logistics, and WhatsApp-based direct-to-consumer dairy businesses from Rohtak have created a new rural entrepreneurship model. Government dairy cooperatives like Vita supplement private marketing; the district's Murrah breeding traditions draw buyers from across India seeking high-milk-yield genetics.
