Amul franchise in India 2026: real cost and margins

CalcGuru · calcguru.in Free Beginner India

An independent 2026 walk-through of Amul's two main formats, the Preferred Outlet at about Rs 2 lakh and the Scooping Parlour at about Rs 6 lakh, with margins from 2.5% on pouch milk to about 50% on recipe items, and a warning about the fake Amul franchise websites that collect deposits.

  • Amul charges no royalty; your income is the product margin.
  • Pouch milk earns about 2.5%, recipe items far more, so the mix decides profit.
  • Apply only through amul.com or [email protected].
