New Delhi, August 6, 2026: Dairy products maker Milky Mist Dairy Food Ltd on Thursday fixed a price band of Rs 133-140 per share for its Rs 1,553 crore Initial Public Offering (IPO), which will open for subscription on August 11.
The initial share sale will conclude on August 13, while bidding for anchor investors will open for a day on August 10, the company said in a public announcement.
The proposed public issue is set to be the largest IPO by an Indian dairy company. Listed peers in the sector include Parag Milk Foods Ltd, Hatsun Agro Product Ltd and Dodla Dairy Ltd.
Issue Structure
The IPO comprises a fresh issue of equity shares aggregating up to Rs 1,428 crore and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of up to Rs 125 crore, taking the total issue size to Rs 1,553 crore.
