Over the past three years, the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) generated a ₹3.69 crore profit by supplying 12,000 litres of ice cream daily to the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), known for the Amul brand. The total value of this supply reached ₹146 crore in that span. KMF’s ice cream production occurs at its three units in Bengaluru (Mother Dairy), Ballari, and Hassan, producing a diverse range of 183 flavors. Additionally, KMF remains a key supplier of Nandini ghee, with the Tirupati temple emerging as its largest single buyer.

Industry Insight

This sustained partnership with Amul showcases the resilience and operational strength of KMF. Despite political tensions and brand competition in Karnataka, KMF’s collaboration highlights its production capability and strategic role in the dairy sector. The ice cream business complements its core milk and ghee operations, offering diversification and enhanced revenue streams. As India’s ice cream market grows rapidly (projected to expand at ~15–17% CAGR), KMF’s capacity to deliver large-scale seasonal products positions it well to leverage rising demand in both B2B and B2C segments. Its ability to coexist alongside national brands like Amul also reflects the evolving cooperative landscape—where scale, product range, and reliability determine success.
