Britannia was ranked third, followed by Karnataka-based dairy cooperative Nandini in fourth and Dabur in fifth.
Dairy brands continued to dominate the rankings, with Amul retaining its position as India’s No. 1 food brand. The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets the Amul brand, announced the ranking in a statement.

The brand markets a wide range of dairy products and also has a diversified portfolio that includes edible oils under the ‘Dhara’ brand, and fruits, vegetables, and frozen foods under the ‘Safal’ brand.
