Parle-G Factory in Mumbai to Close
The famous Parle-G biscuit factory in Mumbai is closing down.
This factory, which has been around since 1929, is going to be replaced by a big commercial building.
The factory stopped making biscuits in 2016, and now the land will be used for something else.
Parle-G is a very popular biscuit in India, and many people are sad to see the factory go.
The factory was a big part of Mumbai's history and culture.
The company got permission to build a new commercial complex on the land, which will cost a lot of money.
Even though the biscuits will still be made elsewhere, people are sad to lose this important part of their childhood memories.
The historic Parle-G biscuit factory in Vile Parle, Mumbai, is set to be redeveloped into a commercial complex.
The factory, established in 1929, stopped production in mid-2016.
Environmental clearance for the redevelopment was approved on January 7, 2026.
The land will be converted into a commercial complex valued at ₹3,961.39 crores.
Parle-G is an iconic biscuit brand that holds a special place in the hearts of many Indians.
