Amul has retained its top spot as the food brand in India, with a brand valuation of $4.1 billion, while another dairy-focused firm, Mother Dairy, stood second, with a brand value pegged at $1.15 billion, according to the latest report by UK-based consultancy Brand Finance. As per the report, FMCG giant Britannia ranks third on the list, followed by Karnataka's Nandini dairy cooperative at fourth, and Dabur at fifth. Where do Amul and Mother Diary rank on list of top 100 Indian brands?
Notably, Amul, which is marketed by Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), also features on the Brand Finance list of top 100 Indian brands across all sectors. The dairy cooperative is ranked 17th, while its main competitor, Delhi-based Mother Dairy, jumped six spots to rank 35th on the list.
Commenting on the ranking, Jayen Mehta, Managing Director of GCMMF, said the achievement was a result of consumer trust and collective efforts by dairy farmers who are part of the cooperative. 'The achievement is a testament to the collective efforts of millions of dairy farmers and our unwavering commitment to providing high-quality, affordable food and dairy products to consumers,' Mehta was quoted as saying by the Business Standard.
'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 Diary MD reveals expansion plans
On a similar note, Manish Bandlish, Managing Director of Mother Dairy, termed his company's ranking as a 'a testament to our collective efforts', and dedicated the achievement to consumers, as well as farmers, employees and partners of the firm. '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,' Bandlish said, according to the report.
In an earlier report with the publication, the Mother Dairy MD had revealed the company's expansion plans, stating that the board had already approved around Rs 1,500 crore of investment combined in terms of Safal and dairy.

India Nears Starlink Rollout as SpaceX Clears Regulatory Hurdles
India is on the cusp of a major leap in digital connectivity as SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service inches closer to operational status in the country. In an exclusive conversation, Dr Pawan Goenka, Chairman of the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Center (IN-SPACe), which is India's space regulator, confirmed that most of the regulatory and licensing requirements for Starlink have been addressed. The final approvals are expected to be wrapped up in the coming days. The meeting between Dr Goenka and Gwynne Shotwell, who is President & COO of SpaceX, held during the latter's recent visit to India, focused on resolving outstanding issues related to authorisations. While the groundwork is nearly complete, Dr Goenka emphasised that several technical and procedural steps remain before the service can be launched. "Even after authorisation, it will take a few months for the service to become operational," he noted. Starlink is one of three major players preparing to offer satellite-based broadband services in India. Alongside OneWeb and SES, Starlink aims to bridge the digital divide by delivering high-speed internet to underserved and remote regions, including rural villages and mountainous terrain. Dr Goenka expressed optimism that the combined efforts of these providers will significantly enhance internet accessibility across the country. The potential impact of satellite internet in India is substantial. With traditional broadband infrastructure often struggling to reach remote areas, satellite connectivity offers a scalable and efficient alternative. The government's push for digital inclusion aligns with these developments, and IN-SPACe is playing a pivotal role in facilitating private sector participation in the space ecosystem. This development also comes at a time when India's space sector is witnessing rapid growth and international collaboration. The entry of global players like SpaceX into the Indian market underscores the country's strategic importance in the global space economy. While the rollout of Starlink in India is not immediate, the regulatory progress marks a significant milestone. As the final steps unfold, the promise of satellite-based internet bringing connectivity to the farthest corners of India appears closer than ever. Dr Goenka's remarks reflect a broader vision of inclusive digital growth, powered by space-based technologies and international cooperation.
