Tetra Pak has unveiled a focused range of dairy-centric innovations at Drinktec India 2025, highlighting integrated solutions designed to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) for milk and dairy-beverage manufacturers. With rising input costs and increasing pressure on margins, the company emphasised technologies that minimise energy and water usage, reduce product loss, and improve overall line efficiency. Tetra Pak showcased advanced systems for recombined milk, UHT processing, fortified dairy beverages, and value-added categories such as high-protein and lactose-free products segments, which are rapidly expanding in India’s evolving dairy market.
A key highlight was the introduction of India-produced carton packaging with 5% recycled polymer content, reinforcing the company’s push toward cost-effective sustainability and improved shelf-life solutions. The company also underlined the benefits of modular and scalable processing lines, which enable both cooperatives and private dairies to upgrade capacity without significant operational disruption.
By integrating processing efficiency with next-generation packaging, Tetra Pak aims to help dairy producers enhance profitability, strengthen supply-chain performance, and accelerate their shift toward premium, functional dairy offerings. Industry stakeholders at the event noted that such technology-led interventions could play a pivotal role in future-proofing India’s dairy sector amid rising consumer expectations and competitive pressures.
