Milky Mist Dairy Food Limited has launched a high protein lactose-free milk in a 250 ml pack, offering 25 grams of protein per serving. The company announced the launch on 16 October 2026, saying the product delivers more than 30% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of protein.
The product is being sold in the domestic market through select trade channels, with wider distribution planned over time. The company did not state a price in the announcement.
How Is Milky Mist’s High Protein Lactose-Free Milk Made?
Milky Mist says the milk uses ultra-filtration, a process the company contrasts with products that simply add protein to an existing formulation.
Dr. K Rathnam, Wholetime Director and CEO of Milky Mist, said high-protein dairy is a significant growth opportunity for the company. He said consumers are increasingly looking for products that bring together nutrition and convenience.
Why Is High-Protein Dairy Growing in India?
Milky Mist reports that demand for its High Protein Paneer, Greek Yogurt and Skyr has grown at about 50% year on year over the past couple of years. The new milk extends that range to lactose-free milk.
Milky Mist describes itself as India’s fastest-growing packaged food company. It is listed on the NSE under the symbol MILKYMIST and on the BSE under 544868.
Market Reaction and Industry Response
No share-price movement or analyst commentary on the launch was found in the source material, and competitors have not publicly responded. The 50% demand growth figure is the company’s own claim and has not been independently verified.
What Happens Next?
Milky Mist plans to widen distribution beyond the select trade channels it is starting with. Pricing, pack sizes beyond 250 ml and retail expansion timelines were not disclosed, and these are the details to watch.
