We are committed towards Quality and Food Safety of our products. Quality and Food Safety form a core part of our policy, which we strongly believe is one of the main drivers of our business growth. Our determination towards Quality and Food Safety is demonstrated by strong procedures at various stages from procurement to distribution of our products. We have well defined documented quality system which is monitored at various stages of procurement and processing. During procurement, the milk first goes through stringent organoleptic, Fat/SNF, acidity, MBRT and many more testing parameters. Only the milk which qualifies through these parameters is sent for further processing. Our VLCCs are equipped with GPRS enabled electronic milk analysers which test for the fat and Solid Not Fat (SNF) content of the raw milk. We also conduct tests for colour and smell which enables us to segregate poor quality of raw milk at our VLCCs. At our chilling centres we conduct adulteration tests and neutralizer tests. The milk is sent through chilled tankers to our processing plants wherein it again mandatorily goes through 32 quality tests including tests for adulteration, antibiotic and neutralizer tests (to detect contaminants) before processing it. All these tests are automated which ensures that the milk is also not exposed to any physical contamination during the entire process. We maintain a strong cold storage chain from the procurement stage to the end consumer. All quality checks are documented in a quality manual.
Our processing operations are spread across 14 processing plants and 1 condensed plant located in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra in India. These plants have an aggregate installed capacity of 2.2 million litres of raw milk per day. We also have two SMP plants in Nellore and Vedasandur having an aggregate installed capacity of 25,000 and 10,000 kgs per day respectively. We regularly upgrade technology across our processing plants and expand into new geographies through modern automated plants having fully automated processing lines. Our processing infrastructure is designed in a manner to ensure efficient operations and meet highest product quality standards. Prior to processing, our milk goes through various quality and adulteration testing parameters. During processing, the milk is also not exposed to any physical contamination. This ensures the milk is un-adulterated and pure.
