The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd (GCMMF), which markets the major home-grown brand, confirmed this in a statement. Of the magic figure achieved, its own sales turnover grew 11.4 per cent to Rs 73,450 crore last fiscal from Rs 65,911 crore in the preceding financial year. The remaining is the revenue of the district cooperative unions.
'11pc rise over a base of Rs 90k cr'
“The total unduplicated revenue of the Amul brand has increased by 11 per cent over a base of Rs 90,000 crore in 2024-25,” it said, adding, “The surge is powered by a massive product portfolio of more than 1,200 product packs, a vast distribution network, and a rapid adaptation to the evolving needs of modern consumers.”
“The federation, along with its 18 member district cooperatives, continues to lead the dairy landscape by blending localised market strategies with the powerhouse Amul brand identity.”
What Amul voices said
GCMMF Chairman Ashokbhai Chaudhary said, “Crossing the Rs 1 lakh crore brand turnover is a testament to the trust of millions of consumers and the tireless hard work of our 36 lakh dairy farmers.”
His deputy, Gordhanbhai Dhameliya, remarked, “Our journey to the Rs 1 lakh crore milestone is a definitive victory for the cooperative spirit. By scaling our model nationally, we are proving that the 'Amul Model' is a timeless blueprint for economic democracy.”
Jayen Mehta, the federation’s managing director, said the body is not only broadening its global operations, but is also redefining what a farmer-owned institution can accomplish in today's world.
