MTR Foods is a food products company.
Basic Information
MTR Foods is a food products company based in Bengaluru, India. The company manufactures a range of packaged foods including breakfast mixes, ready to eat meals, masalas and spices, snacks and beverages. MTR Foods Pvt. Ltd. is a subsidiary of Norwegian conglomerate Orkla. MTR is the acronym of Mavalli Tiffin Room. The company began with the establishment of the Mavalli Tiffin room (commonly known as MTR) restaurant in Bangalore in 1924 by Yagnanarayana Maiya. In 1975, when India was under emergency, a Food Control Act was introduced which mandated that food was to be sold at very low prices. This move made it difficult for MTR to maintain high standards in its restaurant business and forced it to diversify into the instant food business by the following year, selling ready-to-eat snacks such as chutneys and rasams.
