Milky Mist Commissions New High-Protein Skyr and Yoghurt Plant
Milky Mist Dairy Food Limited declared the launch of a new manufacturing plant for Skyr and Greek yogurt featuring Ultrafiltration Technology at its integrated facility in Perundurai.
Milky Mist asserts that it was the first company in India in 2022 to launch this technology for producing Skyr and Greek Yogurt.
Constructed with an investment of around Rs 40 crore, the new dedicated facility has a processing capability of as much as 150 tonnes daily.

The advancement with cutting-edge technology greatly enhances Milky Mist’s capacity to expand its high-protein range and meet the increasing consumer demand for convenient, protein-enriched food items.
In 2022, the company set up its bespoke multi-product yoghurt production plant with a capacity of around 20 tonnes daily. Since then, yearly demand for the category has increased by over 50 percent, causing Milky Mist to quickly surpass its original capacity.
KK Rathnam, wholetime director and CEO, Milky Mist Dairy Food Limited says, “High-protein nutrition is moving from a niche preference to an increasingly mainstream consumption trend”.
“The strong growth in demand for Skyr and Greek Yoghurt validates our early investment in this category and reinforces its long-term potential within India’s value-added FMCG market”.
“The commissioning of our advanced manufacturing facility represents a strategic expansion of our technological capabilities.”
Earlier, Milky Mist Dairy Food cautioned that insufficient insurance, food safety issues, technology failures, and difficulties in keeping essential management staff may negatively impact its operations, as stated in its red herring prospectus (RHP).
The firm stated that its insurance policies might not completely safeguard it from losses due to asset damage, product liability lawsuits, or operational disruptions. As of March 31, 2026, Milky Mist reported that its assets had a book value of Rs 2,546 crore (Rs 25.46 billion), with insurance coverage at Rs 2,441 crore, which accounted for approximately 95.9 percent of the gross book value of assets.

The company mentioned that its insurance policies are typically renewed every year and there is no guarantee that upcoming renewals will be accessible under favorable conditions, promptly, or at all.
Although attrition in this category was zero in fiscal 2026, contrasted with 7.69 percent in fiscal 2025 and 8.33 percent in fiscal 2024, the company noted that the competition for skilled professionals continues to be fierce, and finding replacements for key staff might require significant time and resources. The company also revealed a governance-related risk, indicating that most of its directors are neither currently nor have ever been directors of publicly listed companies.

The firm stated that any outbreak associated with essential raw materials like milk might result in decreased consumer demand, increased regulatory oversight, product withdrawals by distributors and retailers, and elevated testing expenses. Likewise, insufficient allergen labeling or unintentional cross-contamination might lead to product liability lawsuits, regulatory consequences, and harm to reputation.
