Ahmedabad, August 7: Milky Mist Dairy Food Ltd has fixed the price band for its Initial Public Offering (IPO) at ₹133-140 per equity share, with the public issue set to open on August 11 and close on August 13. The company plans to raise up to ₹1,553 crore, comprising a fresh issue of up to ₹1,428 crore and an Offer for Sale (OFS) worth ₹125 crore.
Interacting with the media in Ahmedabad on Friday, Satishkumar T, CMD of Milky Mist Dairy Food Ltd, popularly known as the “Paneerman”, was joined by Dr K. Rathnam, Whole-Time Director & CEO, Biswajith Mishra, Chief Financial Officer, Nitin T S and Manish Jain, Vice President, IIFL Capital Services, one of the book-running lead managers to the issue.
Addressing reporters, Satishkumar T said Milky Mist has built one of India’s strongest value-added dairy brands by focusing on quality, innovation and a fully integrated farm-to-fork model.
“Milky Mist has always believed in creating value through premium dairy products rather than competing only on volumes. The funds raised through the IPO will help us expand manufacturing capacity, strengthen our distribution network and invest further in technology and product innovation. Our aim is to make Milky Mist a globally recognised dairy brand from India,” he said.
Dr K. Rathnam said the company has consistently invested in automation, sustainability and cold-chain infrastructure to maintain product quality.
“Consumer demand for value-added dairy products is growing rapidly across India. We are well-positioned to capitalise on this opportunity with our diversified portfolio and strong operational capabilities,” he noted.
Chief Financial Officer Biswajith Mishra said the IPO proceeds from the fresh issue would primarily be utilised for capacity expansion, repayment of borrowings and general corporate purposes, strengthening the company’s balance sheet for its next phase of growth.
Manish Jain, Vice President, IIFL Capital Services, expressed confidence in investor interest, stating that Milky Mist’s established brand, robust manufacturing ecosystem and leadership in the value-added dairy segment make it an attractive long-term investment opportunity.

The anchor investor bidding will take place on August 10, while eligible employees will receive a discount of ₹13 per share under the employee reservation portion.
