Looking ahead, the company plans to continue expanding its cold chain footprint in line with its broader growth strategy, which includes deeper penetration in key markets
Aimed at strengthening its cold chain infrastructure and last-mile distribution capabilities for its ice cream brand ‘Melt N Mellow’, Krishival Foods has expanded its deep freezer network to 15,490 units as of 31 March 2026 from 3,732 units at the beginning of the financial year.
The expanded freezer network is expected to support improved product visibility, consistent quality, and increased retail throughput. The company’s distribution footprint already spans over 30,000 retail touchpoints, supported by a network of distributors across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, the company said in an exchange filing.
“Our focus remains on strengthening last-mile connectivity and ensuring superior product availability, particularly for our ice cream portfolio. This expansion not only enhances our retail presence but also positions us to capture the growing demand in India’s frozen food segment, said Sujit Bangar, Chairman, Krishival Foods.
The company operates a manufacturing facility with a capacity of one lakh litre per day, supported by an end-to-end cold chain system to ensure product integrity from production to delivery. The company pointed out that its ice cream business continues to benefit from favourable industry trends, including rising disposable incomes, increasing urbanisation and growing demand for premium and indulgent food products.
Looking ahead, Krishival Foods plans to continue expanding its cold chain footprint in line with its broader growth strategy, which includes deeper penetration in key markets such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, as well as scaling its presence across tier 2 and 3 cities.
