Oct-01-2026

Milky Mist Dairy Food has commissioned its new 10 MW solar power plant at Arasanoor. This is in addition to the 15 MW Solar Plant commissioned earlier at the same location, marking another significant milestone in the company’s ongoing transition towards cleaner, sustainable and energy-efficient manufacturing. The total investment in the 25 MW Solar capacity at Arasanoor now stands at Rs 109.60 crore.

Milky Mist has been steadily investing in renewable energy since 2016, when it commissioned its first 2 MW solar plant. With the addition of the 25 MW facility, the company has expanded its renewable energy generation capacity across multiple locations, comprising 5 MW at Chithode, 9 MW at Kavilipalayam, 25 MW at Arasanoor and 2 MW of wind power at Kayathar aggregating to 41 MW Renewable energy. The solar installations have been developed on arid and open land that is not suitable for effective farming, enabling the company to utilise such land productively while advancing its renewable energy objectives. With the new capacity becoming operational, renewable sources meet the company’s total power requirements.

The 25 MW facility is expected to generate approximately 2.0 million units of renewable electricity annually and support the energy requirements of the company’s integrated manufacturing facility at Perundurai and its milk chilling centres across multiple locations. The additional renewable capacity is expected to reduce the company’s dependence on conventional power and help avoid approximately 16,000 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

Milky Mist Dairy Food is engaged in the business of procurement of milk, undertakes processing of milk and manufacture of various value-added products namely paneer, cheese, curd, butter, ghee, fresh cream, milk powder, flavoured milk, lassi, etc. which are marketed under its brand name ‘Milky Mist’.
