Its Branded consumer products have registered a growth of 14% over previous year with products such as Cheese, Butter, Milk Beverages, Paneer, Cream, Buttermilk and Dahi having grown at 20-40%, claims a press release mailed by dairy major.
The provisional unduplicated group turnover of Amul brand has crossed Rs. 41,000 Crores which is 10% higher than last year.
The total turnover of the Amul Federation has a growth of 8% over previous year which is largely due to the decline of 60% in the commodity sales as a result of depressed market conditions in the global and local market.
Amul Federation has been achieving a Compound Annual Growth Rate of more than 18% since last 8 years because 
of higher milk procurement, continuous expansion in terms of adding new markets, launching of new products and adding new milk processing capacities across India. In order to reach interior markets, Amul Federation has started 15 new branches in India during last five years.
Further Amul Federation has also appointed several distributors at smaller towns and villages to ensure consumers in these markets also benefit from availing quality products at reasonable price. Apart from this, Amul Federation has launched more than 50 new products in the last two years to cater to the ever growing and ever changing consumer needs.
The 18 member Unions of Amul Federation with farmer member strength of more than 36 lakhs across 18,700 villages of Gujarat are procuring on an average 211 Lakhs litres of milk per day which is 20% higher than last year.
Ramsinh P Parmar, Chairman, Amul Federation, emphasized the fact that mantra of rapid expansion has clearly yielded rich dividends for Amul Federation. “Based on estimated growth in market demand for Amul products and our future marketing efforts, we anticipate at least 20% CAGR growth in the business of Amul Federation during the next five years.
Chairman added that Amul plans to enhance its milk processing capacity from the current level of 320 lakh litres per day to 380 – 400 lakh litres per day in the next two years.
On behalf of 36 lakhs milk producer members of Gujarat, Shri Ramsinh P Parmar has conveyed his sincere gratitude to Government of Gujarat and Government of India for their continuous and timely support for various schemes related to milk producers.
