From a dal mill in Tenali to a growing Indian food brand with a global presence
Some brands become more than products—they become part of everyday life. Tenali Double Horse Group is one such journey, built over the years through quality, innovation, consistency, and consumer trust.
In 2026, Tenali Double Horse Group is set to be honoured at the 9th Edition of the Iconic Brands of India 2026, presented by ET Edge. The award ceremony is scheduled at 24th September 2026 at the Jade Ballroom, Sahara Star, Mumbai.
For the Group, this recognition represents an important milestone in a journey that began in Tenali and has expanded across India and international markets.
A Journey That Began in Tenali
The foundation of Tenali Double Horse was laid in 2005 with the establishment of Mahendra Dal Mill in Tenali.
In 2011, Maharani Dal Mill was established, and Urad Gota was introduced in consumer packs. In 2017, Tenali Double Horse became the first dal mill in Guntur District to receive ISO Certification, marking an important step in its focus on quality and structured manufacturing processes.
From its roots in pulses and dals, the Group gradually expanded into a wider portfolio of spices, millet-based foods, instant foods, sweets, savories, nutri snacks, cashews, and other value-added food products.
Quality and Innovation at the Core
As consumer preferences continue to change, Tenali Double Horse has focused on combining traditional Indian food values with modern convenience and innovation.
The Sri Munagala Krishna Mohan Research & Development Centre, established in 2026, further strengthens the Group's focus on product development. The launch of Desi Zing Nutri Snacks in the same year reflects its continued efforts to create products for evolving consumer needs.
The Group's growth has also been supported by modern manufacturing facilities, advanced processing capabilities, and quality-focused systems.
From India to Global Markets
Tenali Double Horse has expanded its presence across India through traditional trade, modern retail, e-commerce, TDH Exclusive outlets, and TDH Express outlets.
Its products have also reached international markets including the USA, UK, Singapore, Australia, Canada, the Middle East, and South Africa.
The establishment of TDH Global Trading LLC in Dubai in 2025 further strengthened the Group's international expansion.
Today, the journey that began in Tenali continues to connect Indian food products with consumers around the world.
A Milestone in a Growing Journey
The Iconic Brands of India 2026 recognition adds another important chapter to the Tenali Double Horse story.
