BAMUL intends to open Nandini parlours near Bengaluru metro stations

To provide a push to the ‘Nandini’ brand, D.K. Suresh, president of Bangalore Milk Union Ltd. (BAMUL), met with top officials of Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) on Friday, requesting them to provide space to construct Nandini parlours near metro stations.

“With the aim of expanding the sales network of Nandini milk and dairy products, a request was submitted to grant space for constructing Nandini parlours in the open vacant areas belonging to the department in front of metro stations to sell the products,” Mr. Suresh said on social media platform X.

Sources in BMRCL said that while the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) will set up Nandini parlours in six metro stations, BAMUL has also been asked to identify the other stations where they would want to set up the parlours.

Previously, in June, KMF was instructed by Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to submit applications to a tender called by BMRCL to open Nandini outlets in metro stations after the government was blamed by the opposition for favouring Amul over Nandini. Amul was the lone applicant for BMRCL’s tender and was allowed to open its outlets in 10 metro stations.
