Companies like Rj crop, Nestle and MMG group expected to evaluate a potential acquisition of the ice-cream business. RJ Corp, already a player in the ice-cream sector with its Cream Bell brand, holds a smaller market share compared to its other ventures. Cream Bell, present in 25 states,  operates with 800 distributors and 11,000 pushcarts. For Nestle, the world’s largest packaged food company, the acquisition of HUL’s ice-cream business would seamlessly fit into its established dairy network. Nestle had previously attempted to enter the Indian ice-cream market with its global brand Movenpick, but exited due to slow demand caused by high pricing. MMG Group, with its established cold chain and frozen dessert infrastructure through McDonald’s restaurants, also presents synergies for an ice-cream acquisition. The Indian ice-cream market is rapidly growing and is projected to surpass $5 billion by FY25, according to a Wazir advisor.
