KMF announces plans to set up 'Nandini' milk processing unit in UP's Hathras
Bengaluru, Mar 6 (PTI): The Karnataka Milk Federation on Wednesday announced that it has identified Hathras in Uttar Pradesh for setting up a new milk processing unit for its famous ‘Nandini’ dairy brand.
It is preparing to start selling Nandini milk and curd from March 16.
Hathras has been chosen for the milk processing unit due to its proximity to Delhi, Agra, Mathura, Meerut, and Aligarh, KMF Managing Director B Shivaswamy said in a statement.
Shivaswamy chaired a meeting with dealers in Hathras on March 5 and informed them about the necessary steps taken to commence the sale of Nandini milk and curd from March 16.
He also stated that all preparations have been made to start selling milk in Jaipur and Rajasthan this month.
KMF is the second-largest milk cooperative in the country. It procures and processes milk from more than 26 lakh dairy farmers through its member district milk unions, selling various types of high-quality milk and milk products at competitive prices under the Nandini brand for the past five decades, following the slogan ‘From Cow to Consumer.’
KMF has expanded the sale of Nandini products beyond Karnataka and has been continuously growing its sales network in other states and countries.
Recently, KMF began selling Nandini sachet milk, curd, and buttermilk in Delhi and is working on expanding its sales network to surrounding cities.

Yadagiri court dismisses self-styled godman Mallikarjun Mutya bail plea in POCSO case
Yadagiri: The District Court on Monday rejected the anticipatory bail application filed by Mallikarjun Muthya of Mahal Roja in Shahapur taluk.
Muthya, a self-styled godman is facing charges in a POCSO case lodged at Gogi Police Station, for alleged inappropriate behavior with a minor girl.
A video of the incident allegedly went viral over social media prompting the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights to register a suo motu complaint against him.
Muthya had filed anticipatory bail plea in the district court.
The District Sessions Court Judge Marula Siddharadhya, who heard the plea on Monday, rejected it.
According to reports, the godman is likely to approach the high court on Tuesday seeking a bail.
Mutya, who is believed to be around 26–27 years old, has gained popularity in recent years through social media platforms, on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
He is widely known as “Appaji” among his followers. According to local reports, he is revered by many devotees in North Karnataka and surrounding districts, who regard him as a “walking god” or a local deity.
He has become widely known over the past four years due to his active presence on social media and has drawn attention for his sometimes controversial “miracles.”
