Milky Mist plans to raise ₹2,035 crore through its IPO, with ₹1,785 crore as fresh issue and ₹250 crore as an offer-for-sale by promoters.

Proceeds will reduce ₹750 crore of debt, expand its Perundurai plant, and enhance cold chain infrastructure with ₹129 crore investment.

FY24 revenue rose by 29% to ₹2,349.5 crore, and net profit jumped 137% to ₹46 crore, reflecting strong growth in value-added dairy products.

The company focuses only on VADPs like paneer, curd, cheese, and yogurt, skipping liquid milk to enjoy higher pricing power and margins.

Milky Mist earns 71% of its revenue from South India and relies entirely on a single plant in Tamil Nadu, creating geographical and operational risks.

Key risks include raw milk price volatility, competition from giants like Amul and Nestlé, and dependence on limited distributors.

Employee attrition improved to 34% in FY25, with lower churn among skilled staff, despite overall headcount dropping from 1,694 to 1,524.

With expanding margins, premium product focus, and experienced leadership, the IPO offers strong fundamentals—but execution beyond the South is critical.
