Dairy Giant Akshayakalpa Organic Unveils Massive ₹200 Cr Push into Mumbai and Pune Markets
Bengaluru-headquartered Akshayakalpa Organic, a leading certified organic dairy and poultry brand, has announced a major strategic expansion into the thriving Maharashtra market. The company committed an investment of approximately ₹200 crore over the next four years to establish a strong presence in Mumbai and Pune.The foray signals a significant push into one of India's most commercially vibrant regions. Currently, the company operates in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana.
Akshayakalpa Organic CEO and Founder, Shashi Kumar, stated that the brand currently achieves a revenue of ₹550-600 crore in the 2025-26 fiscal year across its existing strongholds.
Maharashtra Entry Marks Key Growth Milestone
With the Maharashtra launch, Akshayakalpa Organic plans to initially offer a comprehensive range of dairy products. This initial product mix includes milk, high protein milk, ghee, paneer, cheese, and curd.The company has already begun groundwork, having initiated its farmer program in Maharashtra back in 2023. This market entry solidifies the brand's national footprint in the organic dairy sector.
Phased Investment Roadmap and Supply Chain Strategy
The massive ₹200 crore investment is structured in phases to ensure operational stability and sustainable growth.In the initial year, the company has allocated ₹50 crore primarily towards streamlining its logistics, supply chain, and robust distribution network.
However, setting up the core milk procurement pipeline presents a timeline challenge. While the company expects to begin milk procurement from within Maharashtra around 2029-30, the immediate supply will rely on existing infrastructure.
For the interim period, all milk and related dairy products will be sourced from Tiptur in Tumkur district in Karnataka, along with supplies from Hyderabad.
Scaling Manufacturing Capacity Near Pune
Once local milk procurement begins in Maharashtra, the company plans to scale up its physical assets. An additional investment of ₹150 crore is designated for setting up a dedicated manufacturing unit near Pune.This phased approach ensures that the initial operational spending focuses on market readiness and distribution, leading up to the major manufacturing boost. The total dedicated investment, which encompasses the logistics funding and the manufacturing unit, reaches ₹200 crore.
Focus on Long-Term Pan-Indian Strength
Kumar emphasized that the Maharashtra market is expected to begin contributing significantly to the top line once local milk procurement is fully established in the state.Looking ahead, Akshayakalpa Organic plans to dedicate its focus over the next five to seven years. The primary goal will be twofold: strengthening the existing operational footprint across its current markets and cementing its growing position in Maharashtra.
The company currently manages three distinct manufacturing units located in the three states where it operates.
