We procure raw milk either directly from the farmers and through third party suppliers. The raw milk is transported to the nearest processing plant through tankers for onward processing into retail milk packages or manufacture of dairy based VAPs.

Our processing operations are spread across 13 processing plants located in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in India with an aggregate installed capacity of 1.70 Million litres of raw milk per day, excluding two SMP plant’s in Nellore and Vedasandur which have an aggregate installed capacity of 15,000 and 10,000 kgs per day respectively.

We have introduced fully automated processing lines. Our processing infrastructure is designed in a manner to ensure efficient operations and high product quality standards.
