Amul has once again emerged as India’s most valuable food brand, with a brand valuation of USD 4.1 billion, according to the Brand Finance India 100 – 2025 report. The Gujarat-based dairy giant, marketed by the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), retained its number one position, reinforcing its dominance in the country’s food industry.
Rising to the second spot this year is Delhi-NCR-based Mother Dairy, with a brand valuation of USD 1.15 billion—an impressive climb from the third position in last year’s rankings. Britannia, which previously held second place, now stands third, while Karnataka’s dairy cooperative Nandini ranks fourth and Dabur completes the top five list.
The annual report by UK-based Brand Finance, a leading brand valuation consultancy, evaluates the top 100 Indian brands across sectors. In the overall rankings, Amul holds the 17th position, while Mother Dairy has jumped from 41st last year to 35th in 2025—signaling significant growth and stronger consumer connection.
GCMMF and NDDB Celebrate Recognition
GCMMF Managing Director Jayen Mehta credited Amul’s continued success to the “collective efforts of 3.6 million dairy farmers” and its consistent delivery of affordable, high-quality dairy products. He emphasized that the ranking reflects consumer trust and the cooperative’s commitment to nutritional excellence both in India and globally.
Mother Dairy’s Managing Director Manish Bandlish echoed similar sentiments, stating that the ranking is a testament to the brand’s resilience and consumer relevance. “This recognition belongs to our farmers, partners, employees, and most importantly, our loyal consumers,” he said.
Mother Dairy reported a turnover of approximately ₹17,500 crore in FY 2024-25, marking a healthy 16% growth over the previous fiscal year. A wholly owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), Mother Dairy was set up as part of the pioneering Operation Flood initiative, which revolutionized India’s dairy sector.
Diversified Portfolios Drive Growth
While Amul continues to expand its global footprint—exporting to over 50 countries and distributing more than 24 billion packs of dairy products annually—Mother Dairy’s brand strength is driven by its broad-based portfolio. Apart from dairy, the company markets edible oils under the Dhara brand and a wide range of fruits, vegetables, pulses, and frozen foods under Safal.
With India’s food sector witnessing increasing consumer focus on health, trust, and heritage brands, the strong performance of legacy cooperatives like Amul and Mother Dairy underscores their adaptability and lasting appeal in a competitive market.
