Commenting on the financial performance Mr Atul Mehra, Chairman and Whole Time Director, Tasty Dairy Specialities Ltd, said, “The Company has posted a decent financial performance despite difficult business environment led by slowing economic activity. Having over two and half decades of expertise and experience, we are able to maintain a healthy growth as a result of our constant efforts to de-risk the business.
Today our business is largely insulated from the weakness in the economic environment. People are unlikely to reduce consumption of milk and milk based products. Interestingly Indian consumers are eating more of cheese, ice cream, yogurt, and ethnic dairy products such as butter milk and paneer than liquid milk helping in sustaining demand.
Mr Mehra further said, “In the longer run, we believe the dairy consumption is all set to go up significantly in India, which will ultimately benefit the company. The Company is well placed to capitalize on available opportunities in our business segments to achieve a consistent growth that will help in taking our top line to Rs 500 Cr. plus by FY2021 and attain new horizons of accelerated growth”
Among other notable development the company is upgrading its facilities with latest technology for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing cost. It is also in the process of increasing milk processing capacity to five lakh litres of milk per day by adding many new products and focusing on fastest growing categories like Flavoured milk, Butter, Yogurt and Lassi. The Company with the help of Dutch Technology is planning to start a first Flagship Store of Artesian Ice Creams in NCR and also working on strategies to enter Global markets and looking into areas of non-bovine milk,” said Mr Mehra
