Chennai: Milky Mist Dairy Food Ltd. is preparing to launch its ₹2,035-crore (US$213 million) initial public offering (IPO) as early as late July or early August, according to media reports. If completed as planned, the issue is expected to become India’s largest IPO by a dairy company.
The Tamil Nadu-based dairy processor has reportedly concluded investor roadshows and is finalising preparations for the public issue. However, a company spokesperson declined to comment on the proposed timeline.
According to the company’s draft red herring prospectus (DRHP), the IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares worth up to ₹1,785 crore and an offer for sale (OFS) of up to ₹250 crore by the promoters. Milky Mist may also raise up to ₹357 crore through a pre-IPO placement, which would reduce the size of the fresh issue accordingly.
The company plans to utilise the proceeds from the fresh issue primarily to expand manufacturing capacity and repay outstanding debt, supporting its long-term growth strategy in India’s rapidly expanding dairy market.
The proposed listing comes at a time when listed dairy stocks have witnessed mixed market performance. Shares of Parag Milk Foods, Dodla Dairy, and Hatsun Agro Product have declined this year, reflecting broader market sentiment despite continued growth in dairy consumption.
Milky Mist has established a strong presence in the value-added dairy segment, with products including paneer, cheese, yogurt, butter, ghee, and other premium dairy offerings. The company has steadily expanded its footprint across India, supported by investments in manufacturing, cold-chain infrastructure, and brand building.
The IPO is being managed by JM Financial, Axis Capital, and IIFL Capital Services, which have been appointed as the book-running lead managers for the issue.
The proposed public offering is expected to be closely watched by investors as India’s dairy sector continues to attract interest driven by rising demand for branded and value-added dairy products.
