What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The National Livestock Development Board recorded a net profit of Rs. 300 million over a recent six-month period in 2026, which led to the termination of a privatization plan. Under the former Ranil Wickremesinghe administration, a joint cabinet paper had proposed a 99-year lease of 31 to 33 NLDB dairy farms to Amul.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The NLDB's financial turnaround has allowed the current administration to shift national livestock policy toward self-reliance and internal optimization. This policy shift replaces the former plan, which would have granted Amul a 52 per cent controlling stake in a newly formed joint venture.
