Amul becomes top Indian food brand, Mother Dairy second: Check full list
Gujarat's dairy cooperative Amul has retained its position as India's top food brand with a brand value of $4.1 billion, according to the latest Brand Finance report. Delhi-based Mother Dairy followed in second place, with a brand value of $1.15 billion.
The ranking by UK-based consultancy Brand Finance places Britannia at third, Karnataka's Nandini dairy cooperative at fourth, and FMCG major Dabur at fifth in the list of India's top food brands.
Amul, marketed by the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), also improved its standing in Brand Finance's list of top 100 Indian brands across all industries, securing the 17th rank. Mother Dairy climbed six places to reach the 35th position, up from 41st in the previous edition.
Jayen Mehta, Managing Director of GCMMF, attributed the achievement to collective farmer efforts and consumer trust. '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,' he said.
'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,' Mehta added.
Manish Bandlish, Managing Director of Mother Dairy, called the recognition 'a testament to our collective efforts,' and dedicated it to the company's consumers, farmers, partners, and employees. 'Our rise among top five 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,' he said.
Earlier, in an interview with Business Standard, Bandlish had talked about the expansion plan of the company, saying, 'The board has already approved around ₹1,500 crore of investment combined in terms of Safal and dairy.'
In FY25, Mother Dairy has seen FY25 close at revenues of ₹17,400 crore with a 16 per cent growth. Here's the full list of Top 100 Indian Brands:

Most corrupt I've seen: Finfluencer on Indian metro real estate market
India's metro real estate market is 'one of the most corrupt' spaces in the country, according to finfluencer and financial educator Akshat Shrivastava, who recently stirred debate online with a blunt critique of how property prices in big cities remain inflated by black money and speculative a widely shared LinkedIn post, Shrivastava claimed that just nine families control nearly 20% of Mumbai's real estate, wielding disproportionate power over pricing."Real estate in Indian metros is one of the most corrupt I have ever seen," he wrote, pointing to how untaxed money continues to fuel demand—not out of necessity, but to park wealth securely in physical assets. advertisement'Rich businessmen deal with black money the only option is to buy real estate or physical gold,' he explained. That capital, according to him, goes into properties that are often left vacant. 'These rich guys don't need to rent. They're cool with keeping properties vacant,' Shrivastava added. He explains that the result is a distorted market where home prices soar, rental yields shrink, and the average middle-class buyer is left chasing an increasingly unattainable dream. 'You don't need to own a house in a metro,' Shrivastava said, arguing that many end up buying at inflated rates for paltry rental returns—typically around 2–3%—while locking in long-term debt."Anyone telling you to buy a property in metros to get your 2-3% yield is a sales agent disguised as YouTuber,' he urged potential buyers to do the math before investing, especially in metros, and suggested buying homes only when rental yields exceed 4%. "Treat your house as lifestyle, not investment," Shrivastava wrote. "People lie, math does not."advertisement(This article is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

As US trade deal nears, India reviews timing, scope of digital economy policy
New Delhi: As India and the US move closer to finalising a bilateral trade pact ahead of the 9 July tariff deadline, New Delhi is reassessing the timing and contours of pending policy measures that are sensitive to the interests of American tech giants. These include the proposed Digital Competition Bill, a comprehensive e-commerce framework, and new income attribution rules for non-resident enterprises, according to three people familiar with the matter. The recalibrations are being weighed to ensure the policy measures align with the broader objectives of the India-US trade deal and reflect India's commitment to a trust-based regulatory framework and investment requirements, one of them said. 'Policy measures which are on the drawing board can also be a bargaining chip in bilateral treaty negotiations," said the second person quoted above. Both of them spoke on condition of anonymity. The ministry of finance, the departments for promotion of industry and internal trade and commerce, and the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) did not reply to queries emailed on Friday. India has offered several concessions to US exporters of goods and services in the previous two Union budgets, including customs duty reductions and scrapping of the equalisation levy on digital services rendered to Indian businesses by non-resident entities such as tech giants Google and Meta. New Delhi is looking to finalise a bilateral agreement with Washington before the US's 9 July reciprocal tariffs deadline. The US wants India to significantly reduce duties on American agricultural goods, dairy products, and shrimp, and remove non-tariff barriers restricting US dairy exports. Washington, too, is under pressure to ensure the India-US trade deal passes before the deadline. A 26% reciprocal tariff on Indian exports into the US, which includes the 10% universal baseline tariff that now applies to Indian exports, along with tariffs on imports from other countries, could push up retail price inflation in the US. Concerns over the impact of reciprocal tariffs on inflation are already top on the mind of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who has refused to buckle under pressure from President Trump to cut the benchmark lending rate. President Trump is pitching for rate cuts which could help lower the government's interest payments and the budget deficit. India's cautious approach Among the measures being reviewed is India's proposed Digital Competition Bill which seeks to introduce an ex-ante or forward-looking approach to regulating the digital economy. This will mandate influential tech firms to follow a code of conduct. The draft Bill, as it is framed now, will affect digital economy firms' ability to show targeted advertisements and the way people use Google services like maps, Mint reported on 24 April and 7 June, respectively, last year. The government is also reviewing the proposed profit attribution rules to be rolled out by the Income Tax department. These are meant to levy tax on non-resident companies which have a 'significant economic presence' in India, defined on the basis of transaction value and user base. But India's double tax avoidance deal with the US makes it difficult to tax these entities, as only those defined as having a 'permanent establishment' here under the treaty can be taxed. India abolished other efforts to tax tech giants catering to Indian customers remotely by removing the equalisation levy (6% on digital advertisements and 2% on e-commerce) over the last few months to ease trade tensions with the US and to remain aligned with OECD's framework to check tax base erosion, said Amit Maheshwari, tax partner at AKM Global, a tax and consulting firm. 'However, it still has domestic rules like the Significant Economic Presence (SEP) concept and draft profit attribution rules under Section 9 of the Income Tax Act and Rule 10. For now, the profit attribution rules have not been made effective, and US-based companies can still claim tax treaty benefits in case of a SEP existing in India unless they have a permanent establishment here," said Maheshwari. On Saturday, Canada rescinded a 3% digital services tax on big tech companies that was to take effect on 30 June. This was in response to Trump's announcement on Friday that he was cutting off trade talks with Canada for going ahead with this tax. E-commerce and FDI India's proposed comprehensive e-commerce policy, which has drawn strong interest from global entities such as Amazon and Walmart, is another measure under review as the countries reassess priorities in the wake of an eventful regime change in the US. 'This may not be the right time to push ahead with the e-commerce policy discussion, given the shifting global geopolitical scenario," a senior government official said. India is also considering a tweak to its foreign direct investment (FDI) policy in retail to allow foreign investment in building inventory, which is currently permitted only for domestic players. The idea is to enable US-based retailers to invest in warehousing infrastructure. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act of 2023 took into account some of the concerns of digital economy firms. 'It is true that a lot of discussions have been happening on issues like the Digital Competition Bill and the e-commerce policy. Some of these developments may also come up during bilateral discussions with the relevant foreign governments," said Amol Kulkarni, director of research at CUTS International, a non-profit, non-governmental organization working on public interest issues. The timing and form of these policy developments can offer India leverage in these discussions, Kulkarni said. "It is for the government to strike a fine balance in these talks taking into consideration the need for policy certainty and predictability and the gains that could come to the overall economy from specific policies," said Kulkarni. 'For instance, the regulation of cross border data flow had been subject to intense negotiation and the final framing under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 was quite accommodating, however, the requirements under the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025 introduce some ambiguities, which could have been avoided, in the interest of policy certainty and predictability," said Kulkarni. After signing a major tariff deal with China, President Trump has hinted at a 'big trade deal' with India too. Whether India's moves so far, including removal of the equalisation levy and pause on contentious digital rules, are enough to soften the US stance remains to be seen, said Maheshwari.
