Mother Dairy has set an ambitious target of achieving more than ₹24,000 crore in revenue during FY 2026-27, representing nearly 20% growth over the previous fiscal year. The company plans to achieve this through expanding its presence in new markets, strengthening manufacturing capacity, and capitalizing on growing consumer demand across dairy, edible oils, and horticulture products.
The announcement comes after Mother Dairy reported a turnover of ₹20,300 crore in FY 2025-26, reflecting a robust 17% year-on-year growth.
Revenue Doubles in Five Years
Mother Dairy has witnessed remarkable growth over the last five years, with its turnover doubling to cross the ₹20,000 crore mark.
FY 2025-26 Revenue Breakdown
| Business Segment | Revenue Contribution |
|---|---|
| Dairy Products | ₹15,000+ crore |
| Edible Oils & Horticulture | ₹5,000+ crore |
| Total Turnover | ₹20,300 crore |
The dairy business continues to be the company’s primary growth driver, accounting for nearly three-fourths of total revenue.
Expansion Beyond Delhi-NCR
Chairman Meenesh Shah emphasized that the company aims to transform its image from being a Delhi-centric dairy brand to a truly national food company.
“We want to shed the perception that Mother Dairy is Delhi-NCR centric. We already have a presence in several states and are exploring new markets where we do not currently operate,” Shah said.
Currently:
- 63% of revenue comes from Delhi-NCR.
- 37% comes from the rest of India.
The company aims to significantly increase its contribution from non-Delhi markets over the coming years.
