Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) plans to launch Nandini idli and dosa batter in two months. Current breakfast batter market for idli and dosa is dominated by iD, Asal, and MTR, said MK Jagadish, managing director, to a media house.
KMF has recently invited a tender for the manufacture and supply of idli and dosa batter under the Nandini brand. The selected firm will manufacture around 109,000 kg of batter per year in different quantities/packets: 450 grams and 900 grams. The tender is likely to be finalised by July, said the news report.
Officials said they are inviting the tender for the second time because they received responses from only one bidder. "We cannot award the work order if there is only one firm responding to the tender, so we had to float it again. This time, we will issue the Letter of Acceptance (LoA) to the firm," said Jagadish.
As per the tender conditions, the firm must operate its manufacturing facility in the Bengaluru region with a Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), licence. The idli and dosa batter must include whey protein powder sourced from KMF at prevailing rates. The batter will have a shelf life of nine days, with microbiological quality meeting KMF standards throughout, the document reads.
"We already have a bouquet of products such as milk, bread, buns, ghee, butter, curd, cheese, buttermilk, and yogurt. Now, we want to launch the idli and dosa batter product. We are hoping that it will be a hit in Bengaluru, which has a large working population, particularly techies who are looking for quick breakfast options," concluded Jagadish.
