The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets the iconic Amul brand, has crossed a landmark ₹1 lakh crore turnover in FY26, registering an 11% growth over the previous year. This milestone reinforces Amul’s position not just as a dairy giant, but as a powerful example of the cooperative model at scale.
GCMMF reported a sales turnover of ₹73,450 crore in FY26, reflecting an 11.4% year-on-year increase. Operating through 18 district cooperatives and offering a diverse portfolio of over 1,200 products, the brand continues to expand its footprint across categories and markets.
A key driver of this growth has been Amul’s strong distribution network and its ability to adapt to evolving consumer preferences. The brand has also accelerated its global ambitions, entering international markets with initiatives such as launching fresh milk in Europe and the United States-marking a significant step in taking the “Amul model” global.
Beyond business metrics, the milestone reflects the strength of India’s cooperative ecosystem. With over 36 lakh dairy farmers contributing to its operations, Amul continues to champion inclusive growth and economic empowerment at the grassroots level.
The launch of the Sardar Patel Cooperative Dairy Federation Limited (SPCDF) further signals expansion beyond Gujarat, aiming to replicate the cooperative success model nationwide.
Recognised as the world’s top cooperative by the International Cooperative Alliance, Amul’s journey underscores how farmer-led institutions can achieve global scale while staying rooted in community impact-making it a benchmark for sustainable and inclusive growth.
