The planned facility will initially handle 10 lakh litres per day (LLPD) of milk, with infrastructure designed to scale up to 25 LLPD as demand and operational capacity grow. This scalable model reflects Milky Mist’s strategy to align production flexibility with evolving market needs for products such as paneer, yogurt, curd, mozzarella cheese, ice cream, butter and ghee, broadening its value-added dairy portfolio.

Strategically located on approximately 48.15 acres of land to be allotted by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), the project is expected to generate around 800 direct jobs, offering a meaningful boost to local employment and rural economies. The phased implementation will also integrate local milk procurement, reinforcing farmer linkages and supply chain resilience within the state’s dairy sector.

Milky Mist’s expansion into Maharashtra marks a key step beyond its current base in Tamil Nadu, where it operates a fully automated dairy processing site in Perundurai. The Maharashtra unit will expand the company’s geographic reach in western India — a region with strong milk-producing districts — and is seen as crucial to reinforcing its competitive position in the premium dairy manufacturing market.
