Mumbai: The legendary Parle-G factory complex in Mumbai, which for decades filled the air with the sweet aroma of freshly baked biscuits, is set to be demolished. The company has decided to tear down all 21 buildings spanning 13.45 acres near the Vile Parle railway station.
A Humble Beginning with 12 Workers
Started in 1929 as a small confectionery factory with just 12 workers, this venture eventually evolved into the world’s largest biscuit brand. For years, the fragrance wafting from this factory defined the mornings of Vile Parle residents. Freshly packed Parle-G biscuits were once a staple in the bags of children returning home from school.
A Nostalgic Staple for Every Indian
For many, Parle-G was never just a biscuit; it was a culture. From local tea stalls to long train journeys, it became an affordable source of joy for the common man. For travelers passing through Mumbai by train, catching the scent of fresh biscuits while crossing the Vile Parle station remains an unforgettable memory.
Production Moves, Growth Continues
Readers should not mistake this as Parle Products exiting the market. In reality, production at this bustling Mumbai facility had already ceased in 2016. Today, manufacturing has shifted to ten state-of-the-art factories across other parts of India. The decision to clear this prime land is expected to provide a significant financial boost to the company.
While the old buildings may crumble, the image of the little girl on the blue wrapper and those sweet childhood memories will remain etched in the hearts of every Indian forever.
