With a legacy spanning over 85 years, Arna Dairy Farm Private Limited has built a dairy ecosystem that connects rural farms directly to urban homes, ensuring freshness, traceability, and trust at every step.
Rooted in Karnataka’s Rich Dairy Belts
Arna Dairy sources milk from some of Karnataka’s most fertile and naturally rich regions, including:
- Chikmagaluru
- Shivamogga
- Hassan
- Mandya
- Tumkur
- Davanagere
These regions, blessed with abundant rainfall and green fodder, create ideal conditions for healthy cattle and high-quality milk. To meet the growing needs of urban households, Arna also sources premium buffalo milk from Cuddapah, Andhra Pradesh, known for its superior fat content—perfect for traditional festive dairy products.
Festive Demand, Everyday Discipline
While festive seasons see a surge in demand for ghee, paneer, curd, butter, and traditional dairy-based sweets, Arna Dairy’s approach remains consistent throughout the year.
Every litre of milk collected undergoes stringent testing for:
- Taste and flavour
- Acidity levels
- Antibiotics
- Adulterants
- SNF (Solids-Not-Fat)
- Fat content
This uncompromising quality discipline ensures that festive indulgence never comes at the cost of health or safety.
Cold Chain Precision From Farm to City
One of the most critical elements in delivering pure dairy is maintaining temperature integrity. Arna Dairy has invested heavily in:
- Advanced chilling centres near farm clusters
- End-to-end cold chain logistics
- Hygienic processing facilities
- Real-time quality monitoring systems
This infrastructure allows Arna to preserve milk freshness from the moment it leaves the farm until it reaches households, sweet manufacturers, and hospitality kitchens.
Supplying India’s Most Trusted Institutions
Arna Dairy’s reliability has made it a preferred dairy partner for some of India’s most respected institutions, including:
- Taj IHCL Hotels
- Marriott International
- Hilton Group
- Manipal Hospitals
- Aster Hospitals
- Lufthansa
- Kanti Sweets
For these institutions, consistency, hygiene, and traceability are non-negotiable—standards Arna has upheld for decades.
Festivals That Support Farmers
Every festive purchase of Arna dairy products directly supports thousands of farming families. With a no-middlemen procurement model, Arna ensures:
- Fair and transparent pricing
- Direct farmer payments
- Financial security during high-demand seasons
- Long-term rural livelihood stability
“Festivals are moments of joy for consumers, but for us, they are also moments of responsibility. Each festive order strengthens our commitment to farmers who make these traditions possible,” says Dheeraj Keshav, Director, Arna Dairy.
Scaling for a Stronger Festive Future
To meet growing demand, Arna Dairy currently operates at a processing capacity of 2 lakh litres per day and is developing a state-of-the-art dairy plant at KIADB–Kadur, Chikmagaluru. The new facility is expected to:
- Generate 500+ direct employment opportunities
- Positively impact 37,500+ farmers
- Enhance regional dairy infrastructure and procurement efficiency
This expansion ensures Arna remains prepared to serve festive and everyday needs with equal excellence.
Tradition, Technology, and Trust in Every Drop
From Malnad farms to festive kitchens across India, Arna Dairy’s journey is defined by care, discipline, and transparency. It is a reminder that purity is not created in factories alone—it is nurtured at farms, protected through processes, and delivered with integrity.
