Amul Sees Ice Cream Boom, No Milk Price Hike Planned

Amul has reported a strong surge in summer demand, with Managing Director Jayen Mehta stating that ice cream sales jumped by 55% in May 2026 as extreme temperatures boosted consumption across India. Speaking to ET Now, Mehta said the company does not foresee any immediate increase in milk prices despite rising demand, providing relief to consumers and food manufacturers.

Amul also highlighted its continued international expansion strategy, strengthening its presence in the United States while growing distribution across European markets. The cooperative is focusing on expanding exports of dairy products and leveraging increasing global demand for Indian dairy brands.

The strong performance in value-added categories such as ice cream reflects changing consumer preferences and reinforces the importance of product diversification for dairy companies. Industry observers note that Amul’s ability to maintain stable milk prices while expanding globally underscores the strength of its cooperative procurement model and growing international ambitions.
