Mother Dairy rolls out soil-degradable milk pouches in NCR via NDDB film

NDDB's new biodegradable packaging film, which breaks down in soil within two years, debuts on Mother Dairy cow milk in NCR at 10-15 lakh litres/day. No consumer price hike planned. NCR sells 40 lakh litres/day, with cow milk at 35% share — leaving headroom to scale the format.
