Hangyo Ice Creams expands production capacity to meet demand across Southern India

INDIA – Mangaluru-based Hangyo Ice Creams has ramped up operations to meet growing consumer demand across Karnataka, Kerala, Goa and across Southern India.

With a current production capacity of 1.25 lakh litres per day and an annual turnover of ₹300 crores (US$34.83 million), the company is leveraging a legacy of innovation, regional leadership, and strategic expansion to strengthen its footprint in the Indian Ice Cream Market.

With strong distribution networks, consistent demand, and an expanding product portfolio, Hangyo is now looking to deepen its presence in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities while continuing to invest in R&D and supply chain efficiencies.

“Our goal has always been to bring world-class dairy and ice cream products to Indian households, while staying true to our roots and farmer-first philosophy,” said Dinesh Pai, the Executive Chairman. “We are committed to innovation, quality, and sustainable growth as we move into our next phase of expansion.”

The growth trajectory of Hangyo Ice Creams has been deeply rooted in its evolution from a modest family-run dairy initiative in the late 1980s to a full-fledged dairy and ice cream brand today.

Recognizing the market need for direct farmer procurement and regional processing, the company set up its first milk plant in Jamkhandi in 1993.
