Meanwhile, Nandini Dairy, led by KMF, is also aiming to enter the Delhi market with dairy products like milk, curd, butter and ghee. “We will launch our milk, curd, butter and ghee in Delhi to expand our market in north India. As an experiment, we transported these dairy products to Delhi by road, which took us 56 hours. However, we managed to maintain the quality,” a senior KMF official is quoted as saying. It would be interesting to see how people in Delhi will accept the new brand amid legacy options like Amul and Mother Dairy.
Nandini entered the energy-drink market in the United States with ‘Nandini Splash,’ a whey-based energy drink. “We wanted to make Nandini a focus point in the World Cup. Whey-based energy drinks were made available in the US market during the tournament, and it is going to be a global brand,” Jagadish further said.
