<h1>South India dairy company acquires premium eastern India dairy brand for Rs 271 crore</h1> A South India-based dairy company completed a 100 percent acquisition of a premium eastern India dairy brand for Rs 271 crore. The acquired company, founded in 2012, operates across multiple eastern states including Bihar and Jharkhand with an integrated supply chain sourcing from over 25,000 farmers through 1,000 collection centers and 19 chilling facilities. The target company processes approximately 1.1 lakh liters of milk daily across two plants. The acquiring company's managing director stated this transaction represents a significant milestone toward becoming a pan-India dairy company, citing eastern India's faster growth potential compared to national averages due to large consumer base and increasing urbanization.
