The Amul brand’s sales increased by 11 percent in the 2025-26 financial year, going over Rs 1 lakh crore. In the previous financial year (2024-25) those sales were around Rs 90,000 crore. GCMMF says that the 11% increase in Amul’s total sales from year to year shows that people in cities and in the countryside are still buying the product. This important achievement makes Amul one of the biggest dairy brands in India that is owned by the farmers who provide the milk, and confirms its leading position in India and in countries where it exports.
Amul crosses Rs 1 lakh crore mark in FY26
GCMMF’s own sales totalled Rs 73,450 crore, which is 11.4% more than the Rs 65,911 crore from the year before. This growth has strengthened GCMMF’s place as one of India’s largest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies, and increased confidence in companies owned by a cooperative.
The rise in sales is due to Amul having over 1,200 different product sizes and types, and a huge network for getting products to customers. These products range from basic milk and butter to more specialized items, helping Amul get extra sales and get people to consume a little more per person.
GCMMF performance and product portfolio
GCMMF also quickly created new products and adapted to what modern customers want. Investments in keeping things cold while they are transported, in getting products into stores, and in the way things are packaged have all helped Amul serve different types of customers and reduce the amount of milk that spoils after it leaves the farm.
The Amul brand is sold by GCMMF along with 18 local milk cooperatives, and their sales aren’t included in GCMMF’s overall numbers. This way, the cooperative network stays connected to the farmers in their own areas, while still being able to market and distribute products on a large scale.
Role of district cooperatives and the farmer base
GCMMF represents approximately 3.6 million dairy farmers (often called 36 lakh producers) and the milk they supply is the essential part of Amul’s growth. The people in charge say that this achievement is thanks to the farmers working together, and the way the cooperative system shares the profits along the entire path from the farm to the customer.
Those in charge of Amul emphasized that the company is not only doing well in India, but is also becoming more available in other countries. They have recently started selling fresh milk and other products in certain countries abroad, and are working to make the Amul brand more well-known and to get products into more stores in Europe, the United States, and nearby countries.
Strategic expansion and global push
GCMMF officials say that the move to sell in more places is connected to using new technology and improving the links between the farm and the market. They point out that being able to trade with the rest of the world and having improved ways of processing the milk means farmers get a fair price for their milk, and the brand meets the quality rules of other countries.
Going over Rs 1 lakh crore in sales shows that the dairy industry in India is generally getting stronger, and it proves that the cooperative system is a good way to increase income in the countryside. People who make government policy and those who are part of the industry might use this as a reason to improve the roads, cold storage, and other support for cooperatives at the village level.
Implications for the dairy sector and outlook
In the future, continuing to grow at a rate of 10% or more will mean finding a balance between giving farmers reasons to produce more milk, keeping prices competitive, and continuing to come up with new products. Amul plans to strengthen its success in India and increase its exports, while still providing benefits to its millions of farmer-members, with investments in technology, distribution and working with others.
