Heritage Foods Limited has denied any link between the company and Indapur Dairy and termed the recent allegations doing the rounds in sections of the media and social media platforms as “baseless and false”.
In an official statement on Friday, its Chief Operating Officer (COO) J. Samba Murthy clarified that “Indapur Dairy is an independent private dairy firm based in Maharashtra and is not a unit of Heritage Foods.”
“While Heritage sources selected dairy ingredients and undertakes contract manufacturing of products such as cheese, UHT milk, skimmed milk powder (SMP) and paneer from various suppliers, it has never entered into any contract with Indapur Dairy to manufacture or supply ghee,” he said.
Mr. Samba Murthy pointed out that the allegations linking it to the ghee supplied by Indapur Dairy to TTD were “completely baseless and have no connection with the company”.
The company condemned what it described as a “targeted and motivated campaign” by certain media outlets, YouTube channels and social media influencers, allegedly attempting to tarnish its reputation. It reiterated its commitment to strict quality, food safety and regulatory compliance standards and highlighted its ISO 22000 certification.
The COO also said that the notice received in December 2025 has been legally challenged and remains before the court and that legal proceedings have been initiated against the Telugu daily for alleged defamatory reporting.
