Way back in the year 1953, a dynamic young man named Shri. Rattan Lal decided to set up a business of milk procurement and selling. It involved sourcing milk from all over U.P. and then transporting it to Delhi for sale on a daily basis. In the course of his endeavour, Shri. Rattan Lal discerned the immense potential of milk product, the changing tastes of the consumers and the varied demands of the market. With this in mind, he set up a first modern Chilling and Pasteurization Plant in 1970, in the private sector at Hapur (UP), by the name of 'RATTAN' Dairy.

In 1985, another dairy products manufacturing unit was established at Okhla, in Delhi, with an installed capacity of 1,60,000 litres of milk per day. This Plant was a reflection how the visionary Shri. Rattan Lal was responding to the changing market needs. Here, manufacturing of skimmed milk powder was started with ghee as a by-product and these products were launched in the market with the brand name of 'RAJAT'. Consumers readily accepted these products and in fact this brand became the household name and popular in areas - in the markets of Mumbai, Calcutta, Andhra Pradesh, North-East, Gujarat, Bihar, Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.

Again, in the year 1992, when the demand of dairy products, with well established brand name of 'RAJAT' was going higher and higher, due to quality of products being maintained and controlled by the well experienced staff, Shri. Rattan Lal took the decision to establish even a bigger Dairy Plant at Kundli (Sonepat). This Plant was armed with state-of-the-art equipment and systems. This Plant was equipped to process upto about 3,00,000 litres of milk per day. Skimmed Milk Powder, Whole Milk Powder, Dairy Whitener, Butter and Ghee comprised the Plant's Portfolio with brand name 'RICHA' and 'RAJAT PREMIUM'. This unit started functioning in the name and style of M/S Daily Foods (India). The total charge of this unit was handed over by Shri. Rattan Lal to his eldest son Shri. Rakesh Kumar, who was assisting him in the business since 1978 and gained a lot of experience in the line. This is how M/S Daily Foods (India) came into existence and started functioning with the long experienced people in the line.

It goes without saying that a key person - Shri. Rakesh Kumar, who gained a lot of experience in the milk business from his father, is fully aware about the importance and necessity of hygienic conditions to be controlled and maintained at all level of processing of milk and milk products. This is why all the equipment installed at Daily Foods (India) have been procured from the leading manufacturers like- M/S Seppo Relli of Finland, M/S Damrow, U.S.A. and Alfa Laval Dryer. Further, a continuous Butter Making Machine and a Butter Churn are also in operation for manufacturing best quality of butter.
