Founded in 1939 in Bhilawadi by Late Shri Bhaskar Ganesh Chitale, Chitale Dairy began as a small pasteurization unit and grew into one of India’s most trusted dairy brands. With a strong farmer-first vision, we work with 50,000+ farmers, providing veterinary care, technical guidance, automated farms, and sustainable support.
Today, we process 3,00,000+ litres of milk daily and offer a wide range of products – milk, ghee, paneer, khoa, shrikhand, butter, cheese, buttermilk, lassi, and fortified nutrition products.
Our “Grass to Glass” initiative uses IoT, RFID, and cloud technology to monitor animal health and milk quality, ensuring ISO & HACCP-certified standards. With modern parlours, Rockwell-controlled plants, and a genetics lab (since 1997), Chitale continues to lead in dairy innovation.
