Nandini introduces ₹10 milk, curd packs across Karnataka
Bengaluru: The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) has introduced packs of Nandini milk and curd at ₹10 across Karnataka, offering relief to single-person households, students and daily buyers by providing smaller quantities that reduce cost and wastage.
According to News18, under the new initiative, consumers can purchase 160 ml of milk or 140 ml of curd for ₹10 each at Nandini outlets. The move is aimed at individuals who do not require larger packs and often face wastage when buying half-litre or litre quantities.
KMF said the decision was taken to reduce the cost burden on consumers, while also addressing changing consumption patterns in urban areas, where household sizes are shrinking and convenience often matters more than volume.
For many urban residents living alone, the availability of smaller packs allows better portion control and helps reduce food waste. The ₹10 packs enable consumers to buy only the quantity required for a single meal or beverage, without worrying about spoilage.
While families may continue to purchase litre packs, the mini packs are designed for a growing segment that values freshness, affordability and minimal waste.
