"GCMMF is investing in new product categories such as organic foods, high-protein items, probiotic range, and fresh sweets," an official statement said on Saturday. "Each of these product categories will assist Amul in transitioning from India's largest dairy brand to India's leading Food and Beverage FMCG company," the firm said.

"We have achieved volume sales growth in all product categories," said Jayen Mehta, In-charge Managing Director, GCMMF. The most profitable product, pouch milk, has experienced double-digit volume growth. Aside from that, our products such as butter, ghee, ice cream, UHT milk, flavoured milk, paneer, and fresh cream have grown by double digits."
