Amul has retained its position as India’s top food brand with a brand value of $ 4.1 billion, according to the Brand Finance India 100 – 2025 report. Delhi-NCR-based Mother Dairy secured the second spot with a brand value of $ 1.15 billion, moving up from third place last year.

Britannia ranked third among India’s top food brands, followed by Karnataka-based dairy cooperative Nandini in fourth place and Dabur in fifth. The rankings were published by UK-based Brand Finance, an independent brand valuation and strategy consultancy. Among India’s top 100 brands across sectors, Amul was ranked 17th while Mother Dairy climbed to the 35th position, up from 41st in 2024.

The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which owns the Amul brand, said in a statement that the recognition underscores its commitment to providing high-quality, affordable food and dairy products. “It 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 of GCMMF. “As Amul continues to grow and expand its footprint, both in India and internationally, this achievement reinforces our responsibility to uphold the trust placed in us by generations of Indian households,” he added.

Mother Dairy’s Managing Director, Manish Bandlish, also welcomed the recognition, saying, “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 further noted, “Our rise among Top 5 Indian Food Brands and also in India’s Top 100 brands across industries 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 program. In FY 2024–25, the company recorded a turnover of around Rs 17,500 crore, registering a 16% growth over the previous year.

It also has a presence in edible oils through the ‘Dhara’ brand, and in fresh produce, frozen snacks, pulses, and fruit-based products under the ‘Safal’ brand.
