History

Parag Milk Foods started as a dairy in Manchar with a 20,000 litre capacity in 1992. It started with production of skimmed milk powder and by 2004 became India's largest exporter of the skimmed milk powder.^{[citation needed]} However, the company faced a challenge when the Government of India banned export of milk powder on account of local milk shortage.^[3][4][5]

Acquisitions

In 2018, Parag Milk Foods acquired Danone's facility in Sonipat, Haryana for ₹30 crore (US$3.5 million) after the latter decided to shut its dairy operations in India.^[6][7]
