Amul has once again been named India’s most valuable food brand, with a brand valuation of $4.1 billion, according to the latest Brand Finance India 100 – 2025 report. The annual ranking, released by UK-based independent brand valuation consultancy Brand Finance, also saw Delhi-NCR-based Mother Dairy climb to the second position with a brand value of $1.15 billion, up from third place last year. Britannia secured the third position, followed by Karnataka-based Nandini and FMCG major Dabur in fourth and fifth places, respectively.

Among the top 100 Indian brands across sectors, Amul ranked 17th overall, maintaining its strong presence, while Mother Dairy advanced to the 35th position from 41st in the 2024 report—marking a significant improvement in its cross-sector brand standing.

The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which owns and manages the Amul brand, welcomed the recognition. “This honour reflects the collective efforts of millions of dairy farmers and our unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, affordable food and dairy products to consumers,” said Jayen Mehta, Managing Director, GCMMF. “As Amul continues to grow both in India and internationally, this recognition reinforces the trust Indian households have placed in us for generations.”

Mother Dairy’s Managing Director, Manish Bandlish, also responded to the accolade, stating, “This recognition is both a reflection and a testament to our collective efforts — a heartfelt thank you to our consumers, farmers, partners, and employees — this recognition belongs to each one of you.” He added that the company’s rise among the top food brands and its climb in India’s Top 100 list “reflects more than numbers — it reflects the trust earned, relevance sustained, and the resilience of a brand that continues to evolve.”

Mother Dairy, a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), was established under the Operation Flood programme. In FY 2024–25, the company reported a turnover of approximately ₹17,500 crore, representing a 16% growth over the previous fiscal year.

The Brand Finance rankings underscore the enduring strength and trust enjoyed by India’s leading dairy cooperatives and FMCG players in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
