National distributor and super stockist for Nandini.
MANIL Advisors holds the national distributor and super stockist appointment from the Karnataka Co-operative Milk Producers' Federation for Nandini UHT milk — and supplies the wider Nandini range to institutional buyers anywhere in the country. Today that means 5 lakh litres a month; the target is 10 lakh.
The co-operative behind the brand
KMF is the apex body of the dairy co-operative movement in Karnataka and the second-largest dairy co-operative in India — first in the country for milk procurement, and first for sales in South India. Nandini is its brand, and a household name for pure and fresh milk and milk products.

Why institutions move to UHT
| Criterion | Fresh pouch milk | UHT milk |
|---|---|---|
| Processing | Pasteurised at 72°C for 15 seconds | Heated to 135–150°C for 2–4 seconds, then rapidly cooled |
| Shelf life | 2–3 days, under continuous refrigeration | 6–12 months, no refrigeration until opened |
| Logistics | Cold chain at 2–4°C throughout; higher spoilage risk in transit | Ambient storage and transport; flexible and economical |
| Nutrition | Preserves natural taste and nutrients | Preserves natural taste and nutrients; homogenised for consistency |
| Packaging | Polyethylene pouches, bottles or cartons | Six-layer aseptic Tetra Pak — roughly 70% renewable paperboard |
| Best suited to | Urban sites with robust cold storage | Bulk storage, remote sites, locations without reliable refrigeration |
| Operating cost | Higher — refrigeration logistics and short shelf life | Lower by 30–45% against fresh milk operations |
Six layers of aseptic carton
Polyethylene against outside moisture, paperboard for strength, an aluminium foil barrier against light and oxygen, and an inner seal that keeps the milk from touching anything but food-grade polymer.
