Innoterra’s MilkLane ties up with Milky Mist to supply 1 lakh litres of premium milk per day

 As part of the tie-up, MilkLane will leverage its robust network of farmers to supply 1 lakh litres per day of premium milk to Milky Mist over a three-year period in a deal valued at over ₹400 crore. The partnership will benefit over 10,000 farmers ensuring fair pricing and access to high-nutrition cattle feed solutions.

Milky Mist, which is focussed on value added dairy products, processes about 1.5 million litres of milk daily at its fully automated 75-acre Perundurai facility in Tamil Nadu. Partnering with MilkLane further strengthens its ability to source high-quality, traceable milk, reinforcing its leadership in India’s dairy sector. MilkLane said it will employ rigorous quality control protocols including its 100 per cent bulk milk cooler (BMC) model operations, innovative stainless steel (SS) can distribution system, and strict antibiotics and adulterants testing at collection centers, to ensure only high-purity milk reaches Milky Mist’s processing facilities. Additionally, real-time supply chain tracking will ensure full traceability, transparency and consistency in milk procurement, the company said in a statement.

Harish Sharma, Managing Director, MilkLane, said, “We aim to support Milky Mist with 100 per cent end-to-end traceable and high-quality supply of premium milk for its expanding value-added dairy portfolio. The dairy sector struggles with inconsistent fat and SNF levels, antibiotic contamination, and aflatoxin risks, which impact product quality and safety.

MilkLane addresses these challenges with a tech-driven approach, leveraging our network of over 10,000 farmers, and over 150 strategically placed BMCs, and four-tier quality assurance with over 40 tests at central labs.”

K Rathnam, CEO, Milky Mist Dairy, said, “This partnership with MilkLane will ensure that we receive a stable supply of rigorously tested, premium milk, meeting the highest safety and quality standards for our consumers. Additionally, MilkLane’s farmer-centric approach, including fair pricing and scientifically formulated cattle feed, strengthens the dairy ecosystem—benefiting both producers and end consumers. As we expand our product range and market reach, this collaboration will play a key role in reinforcing our position in the industry.”

With India being the world’s largest producer and consumer of dairy, maintaining product quality and supply chain integrity is crucial.

This partnership between Milky Mist and MilkLane raises the industry benchmarks for transparency, farmer welfare, and greater access to safe, high-quality dairy products for Indian households.
