With the increase in the availability of liquid milk and Western dairy products,
refinement in the marketing network and significant improvement in per capita income,
there is an increased pressure for the restructuring of the indigenous milk product
industry. Now, the organized sector has started showing keen interest in processes and
equipment for manufacturing traditional products standardization of products, as well
as refinement in packaging and improvement in safety and shelf life. Any innovationwhich can enable the organized sector to manufacture and market indigenous milk
products on an industrial scale can have a far reaching impact on the dairy industry as
well as on the economic condition of milk producers. The market for indigenous
products far exceeds that for Western dairy products like butter, milk powder and
cheese. A great scope exists for further expansion of the market for indigenous milk
products, provided quality and safety are ensured and the shelf life is extended to
facilitate distribution over larger areas. Major innovations are needed in manufacturing,
quality assurance, packaging and process engineering to adapt these products to
current marketing and consumer requirements. Some commercial processes have been
developed to manufacture ghee, khoya, shrikhand and gulabjamun, but much is
required to be done.
The dairy industry is dominated by the co-operative sector. About 60% of the installed
processing capacity is in the co-operative sector.
The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) is a major player in the market with its
major brand, Amul. Leading brands like Amul, Nestle, Mother Dairy and Britannia are in
the race to tap the growing market.

THE BRAND NAME - AMUL
-

5/43
5 | P a g e
AMUL means "priceless" in Sanskrit. The brand name "Amul," from the Sanskrit
"Amoolya," was suggested by a quality control expert in Anand. Variants, all meaning
"priceless", are found in several Indian languages.
Today Amul is a symbol of many things: -
Of high-quality products sold at reasonable prices.
Of the genesis of a vast co-operative network.
Of the triumph of indigenous technology.
Of the marketing savvy of a farmers organization.
Of a proven model for dairy development.
HISTORY OF AMUL
In 1929, Peston Edul Polson established Polson Model Dairy at Anand to manufacture
butter, ghee and casein and in 1944; the Bombay Municipal Corporation Milk Supply
was inaugurated. Monopoly rights were awarded to Polson for Procuring milk from
Kaira. Amul's genesis is linked to the freedom movement in India. Sardar Vallabhbhai
Patel, an eminent Indian freedom fighter encouraged the dairy farmers from the Kaira
district in Gujarat to form a cooperative to counter the 'exploitatively' low prices offered
for their milk by the monopoly milk supplier of the area, Polson's Dairy. The dairy
farmers met in Samarkha (Kaira district, Gujarat) on the 4th of January 1946, and
decided to set up a milk producers' cooperative that would deal directly with the
Bombay government, the final buyer of their milk. This was the origin of the Anandmodel.
Initially, when the Bombay government refused to deal with the cooperative, the
farmers called a strike. The government finally relented when Bombay went without
milk for a fortnight. The successful union registered itself as the Kaira District
Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Ltd. (KCMPUL), Anand, in Gujarat in December
1946. And so did GCMMF and brand AMUL establish consequently.

STRATEGYAmul follows a systematic and well defined pattern of strategy, which can be
categorized as:
Minimum expenditure on advertisement
Focus on delighting customers
Expanding its distribution network for maximum reach of customers
Minimize its expenditure and pay only 0.5% of its turnover on salaries against
other 7% FMCG Companies
AMULS JOURNEY TOWARDS EXCELLENCE
AMULs journey towards excellence is marked by some critical understanding of the
business environment in large emerging economies like India where markets have to be
developed by combining efficiency related initiatives with increasing the base of
marginal suppliers and consumers. The essence of AMULs efforts was as follows:
It combined market and social development in an emerging economy. It
recognized the inter-linkages between various environments that governed thelives of marginal milk farmers and the unmet needs of consumers.
It also changed the supply chain paradigm in order to reduce the cost to the
consumer while increasing the return to the supplier.
It realized that in order to achieve their objectives, it had to benefit a large
number of people both suppliers and consumers. While large scale had the
danger of failure due to poor control and required more resources, it also had the
advantage of creating a momentum that would be necessary to bring more
people into the fold and thereby help more suppliers and consumers.
It also realized that its goal could only be achieved in the long run and this
required developing values in people and processes that were robust, replicable
and transparent.
It also realized that the cooperative would not be independent and viable in the
face of competition if it were not financially sound. This implied that AMUL had
to develop distinct capabilities that would deliver competitive advantage to its
operations.
AMUL'S SECRET OF SUCCESS
-

8 | P a g e
The system succeeded mainly because it provides an assured market at remunerative
prices for producers' milk besides acting as a channel to market the production
enhancement package. What's more, it does not disturb the agro-system of the farmers.
It also enables the consumer an access to high quality milk and milk products. Contrary
to the traditional system, when the profit of the business was cornered by the
middlemen, the system ensured that the profit goes to the participants for their socio-economic upliftment and common good.
Looking back on the path traversed by Amul, the following features make it a pattern
and model for emulation elsewhere.
Amul has been able to:
Produce an appropriate blend of the policy makers farmers board of
management and the professionals: each group appreciating its rotes and
limitations,
Bring at the command of the rural milk producers the best of the technology andharness its fruit for betterment.
Provide a support system to the milk producers without disturbing their agro-
economic systems,
Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines, in the
rural sector for the common good and betterment of the member producers and
Even though, growing with time and on scale, it has remained with the smallest
producer members. In that sense. Amul is an example par excellence, of an
intervention for rural change.
The Union looks after policy formulation, processing and marketing of milk, provision oftechnical inputs to enhance milk yield of animals, the artificial insemination service,
veterinary care, better feeds and the like - all through the village societies. Basically the
union and cooperation of people brought Amul into fame i.e. AMUL (ANAND MILK
UNION LIMITED), a name which suggestTHETASTE OF INDIA.

AMULs BEST PRACTICES
Developing demand
At the time Amul was formed, consumers had limited purchasing power, and modest
consumption levels of milk and other dairy products. Thus Amul adopted a low-cost
price strategy to make its products affordable and attractive to consumers by
guaranteeing them value for money.
Introducing higher value products
Beginning with liquid milk, GCMMF enhanced the product mix through the progressiveaddition of higher value products while maintaining the desired growth in existing
products.
Despite competition in the high value dairy product segments from firms such as
Hindustan Lever, Nestle and Britannia, GCMMF ensures that the product mix and the
sequence in which Amul introduces its products is consistent with the core philosophy
of providing milk at a basic, affordable price.
The distribution network
Amul products are available in over 500,000 retail outlets across India through itsnetwork of over 3,500 distributors. There are 47 depots with dry and cold warehouses
to buffer inventory of the entire range of products.
GCMMF transacts on an advance demand draft basis from its wholesale dealers instead
of the cheque system adopted by other major FMCG companies. This practice is
consistent with GCMMF's philosophy of maintaining cash transactions throughout the
supply chain and it also minimizes dumping.
Wholesale dealers carry inventory that is just adequate to take care of the transit time
from the branch warehouse to their premises. This just-in-time inventory strategy
improves dealers' return on investment (ROI). All GCMMF branches engage in route
scheduling and have dedicated vehicle operations.
Umbrella brand
The network follows an umbrella branding strategy. Amul is the common brand for
most product categories produced by various unions: liquid milk, milk powders, butter,
ghee, cheese, cocoa products, sweets, ice-cream and condensed milk.
Amul's sub-brands include variants such as Amulspray, Amulspree, Amulya and
Nutramul. The edible oil products are grouped around Dhara and Lokdhara, mineral
water is sold under the Jal Dhara brand while fruit drinks bear the Safal name.

13 | P a g e
By insisting on an umbrella brand, GCMMF not only skillfully avoided inter-union
conflicts but also created an opportunity for the union members to cooperate in
developing products.
Managing the supply chain
Even though the cooperative was formed to bring together farmers, it was recognisedthat professional managers and technocrats would be required to manage the network
effectively and make it commercially viable.
Coordination
Given the large number of organisations and entities in the supply chain and
decentralised responsibility for various activities, effective coordination is critical for
efficiency and cost control. GCMMF and the unions play a major role in this process and
jointly achieve the desired degree of control.
Buy-in from the unions is assured as the plans are approved by GCMMF's board. Theboard is drawn from the heads of all the unions, and the boards of the unions comprise
of farmers elected through village societies, thereby creating a situation of interlocking
control.
The federation handles the distribution of end products and coordination with retailers
and the dealers. The unions coordinate the supply side activities.
These include monitoring milk collection contractors, the supply of animal feed and
other supplies, provision of veterinary services, and educational activities.
Managing third party service providersFrom the beginning, it was recognised that the unions' core activity lay in milk
processing and the production of dairy products. All other activities were entrusted to
third parties. These include logistics of milk collection, distribution of dairy products,
sale of products through dealers and retail stores, provision of animal feed, and
veterinary services.
It is worth noting that a number of these third parties are not in the organized sector,
and many are not professionally managed with little regard for quality and service.
This is a particularly critical issue in the logistics and transport of a perishable
commodity where there are already weaknesses in the basic infrastructure.
Establishing best practices
A key source of competitive advantage has been the enterprise's ability to continuously
implement best practices across all elements of the network: the federation, the unions,
the village societies and the distribution channel.
In developing these practices, the federation and the unions have adapted successful
models from around the world. It could be the implementation of small group activities
or quality circles at the federation. Or a TQM program at the unions. Or housekeeping
and good accounting practices at the village society level.More important, the network has been able to regularly roll out improvement programs
across to a large number of members and the implementation rate is consistently high.

14 | P a g e
For example, every Friday, without fail, between 10.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m., all
employees of GCMMF meet at the closest office, be it a department or a branch or a
depot to discuss their various quality concerns.
Each meeting has its pre-set format in terms of Purpose, Agenda and Limit (PAL) with a
process check at the end to record how the meeting was conducted. Similar processes
are in place at the village societies, the unions and even at the wholesaler and C&F agentlevels as well.
Examples of benefits from recent initiatives include reduction in transportation time
from the depots to the wholesale dealers, improvement in ROI of wholesale dealers,
implementation of Zero Stock Out through improved availability of products at depots
and also the implementation of Just-in-Time in finance to reduce the float.
The most impressive aspect of this large-scale roll out is that improvement processes
are turning the village societies into individual improvement centres.
Technology and e-initiatives
GCMMF's technology strategy is characterized by four
distinct components: new products, process technology,
and complementary assets to enhance milk production
and e-commerce.Automation in processing and packaging areas is
common, as is HACCP certification. Amul actively
pursues developments in embryo transfer and cattle breeding in order to improve cattle
quality and increases in milk yields.GCMMF was one of the first FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) firms in India to
employ Internet technologies to implement B2C commerce.
Today customers can order a variety of products through the Internet and be assured of
timely delivery with cash payment upon receipt. Another e-initiative underway is to
provide farmers access to information relating to markets, technology and best
practices in the dairy industry through net enabled kiosks in the villages.
GCMMF has also implemented a Geographical Information System (GIS) at both ends of
the supply chain, i.e. milk collection as well as the marketing process. Farmers now have
better access to information on the output as well as support services while providing a
better planning tool to marketing personnel.
Advertising and Sales Promotion
Over the years, Amul's advertising philosophy had been "to be simple, fresh and
innovative". The clean, emotion-based ads refrained from using hi-tech special effects,
and aimed at maintaining the perfect balance between the traditional and the modern.
Looking Ahead
Analysts wondered whether a co-operative with limited financial means could stand upto the might of these MNCs, and if its low pricing strategy would continue to stay
relevant. MNCs like Pizza Hut, Domino's, Hindustan Lever Limited and Cadbury had also
-

become competitors. Amul had proved its detractors wrong and firmed up ambitious
growth plans.
4 PS OF MARKETING
1.PRODUCTOver the years, Amul has come up with many products. There has been product lineextension as well as product category extension. The picture below is a snapshot of
various SBUs of Amul.
Using the BCG matrix for product analysis, we can know which of these SBUs is of
utmost importance to the company or the brand Amul.
Looking at the matrix above, we may say that Amul needs to perform product
innovation if it wants to convert Amul chocolates, masti dahi , Amul mithai mate, Amul
lassi to star products. The above matrix also indicates that, Amul may also choose to
disinvest in Nutramul and Amul shakti.
The following table describes the market share that Amul holds for each product
line.

In ice cream, HUL is just above the market share i.e., 28.22 %, with Mother Dairy in the3rd place with 8.66 %. In chocolates, Cadbury has the maximum share of 70 % and
Nestle has 20 % of the market share.
AMUL, being a co-operative union offers variety of services to the members of village
and district level co-operative societies. The main services offered by AMUL are:
Medical Facilities for the Cattle of Farmers
AMUL provides medical facilities to cattle of farmer at a concessional rate of Rs.
50/- includes medicines, treatment charge.
Cattle FeedingAMUL provide the Dan to the cattle of member farmers. AMUL produces the

Artificial Insemination (Cattle Breeding)
AMUL has established Artificial insemination center at Ode village near Anand.
Free Animal Vaccination
Often Animals are caught up in unknown diseases. To protect the animals from
such diseases periodical Vaccination programme are arranged by AMUL.
Farmer Education Programmed
Generally, farmers believe in superstitions. Further, he is often not aware abouthow the animal should be taken care which things should be given prime
concern while milking the animal. AMUL provide guidance and education
through arranging seminar on periodic basis.
2.PRICINGDecided by the GCMMF by conducting market surveys to check the validity and
feasibility of prices in the market and accordingly decides the prices of AMUL products.
Price is inclusive of several elements like,
Cost of milk

Transportation cost
Sales promotion costs Taxes etc.
3.PLACEAmuls success today is partly because of its strong supply chain design. Below is the
schematic diagram of Amuls supply chain.
With products being highly perishable, the supply chain ought to have to maintain
correct temperature, humidity etc and the chain should move fast.
To reach out its consumers more directly and let them the total brand experience, Amul
has come up with Amul parlours. These are called Utterly delicious parlours. They
have come up in major cities like Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Baroda, Delhi, Mumbai,
Hyderabad and Surat already, and many more starting up real soon. Till date there are
about 400 Amul parlours across the country. These parlours are set at prominent
locations such as campuses of Infosys, Wipro, IIM-A, IIT-B, temples, Metros etc.
Amul has franchisee plans in regards of the Amul parlours. This might start pretty soon,
since the talks are almost at the end.

Now, going back to the supply chain of Amul, Amul has gone the e- commerce way. The
1stinitiatives taken for an ERP system was in 94. Tata Consultancy Services was hired
to guide in its implementation. The implementation project was named as Enterprise-
wise Integrated Application System (EIAS). Automatic Milk Collection System units
(AMCUS) at village societies were installed in the first phase to automate milk
producers logistics. Amul also connected its zonal offices, regional offices and membersdairies through VSATs for seamless exchange of information. Amul is also using
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for business planning and optimization of
collection processes. Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad supplemented
Amuls IT strategy by providing an application software Dairy Information System
Kiosk (DISK) to facilitate data analysis and decision support in improving milk
collection. There are plans to introduce features like Internet banking services and
ATMs which will enable the milk societies to credit payments directly to the sellers
bank account. Distributors can place their orders on the website www.amul2b.com
especially meant for accepting orders from stockists and promoting Amuls products via
e-commerce.
4.PROMOTIONOne of the most conservative FMCG entities GCMMF spends a mere 1% of its
turnover on promotions. Amul has written and re- written the rules of the game. Amul
butter girl is one of the longest run ad campaigns in the country for 43 years!!!
The reason Amul topicals are so successful because, it doesnt plead the customer to go
buy Amul instantly. Instead, Amul captures latest news headlines and showcases themin such a way that the moment we see it, we register it in our brains. The basic aim here
is to make butter synonymous to Amul. Next time we go to buy butter, the first brand
that will come to the mind is Amul. Amul uses rotational promotion strategy to be in
touch with customers/ consumers throughout. After every 3-4 years, Amul comes up
with something new and a promotional campaign for the same is placed.
Amul Ice-cream 1996
Category re-visited in 1999, in order to improve availability of the product and
make it affordable
Amul Cheese in 2001 Amul Masti Chaas in 2004-05

AMULS STP
SEGMENTATION
Segmentation is not so easy because of mixed audience and various culinaryapplications of Amul products. Nevertheless, we may do segmentation based on:
Consumer type:
For Kids- Amul kool, Amul chocolates, Nutramul, etc
For Women-Amul Calci +
For Youth-Utterly delicious pizza, cheese variants etc
For the calorie conciuos-Amul lite, Amul lite slim trim milk etc
For health conscious-Nutramul, Amul shakti etc.
Industry type:
Milk- Ice cream manufacturer, restaurants, coffee shops etcButter/Cheese/Ghee-Bakery, pizza retailers, snack retailers
TARGETINGAfter segmentation, one has to decide where to find this market segment and what
should be the size of this segment. Example, Amul has identified youth as one of its
potential segments.
Now it has to decide where to find youth who will actually go get their product and the
number of youth that the company, i.e., Amul requires. Amul has come up with Amul
parlours for this reason.
POSITIONING
A mass market player, no premium offerings
USP Quality with affordability
Amul as Taste of India - creating value for everyone in the value chain, both
customers and farmers.
New offerings for health conscious and vibrant India in the form of Probiotic
wellness ice-cream, sugar free delights for the diabetic patients and Amul kool
caf for the youth of today.

3 CS MODEL
1. COMPANY Largest milk brand in Asia. It is no. 1 in Asia and no. 2 in the world
More than 30 dairy brands
Market leader in ghee and butter with 85% market share Very strong supply chain
Enjoys fine reputation. Though the company has grown so big, it never left its
key players- the milk suppliers
Quality with affordability
2. CUSTOMER Are extremely satisfied
Moved from loose milk to packaged milk. Moving consumers from loose mil to
packaged milk and then gradually moved them up the value chain i.e., the tetrapacks.
Being exposed to a brand, its natural for a customer to try more products. This
the Umbrella strategy that Amul follows.
Improved socio-eco conditions of the customers, has changed their lifestyle and
thus the scope for product innovation has increased.
3. COMPETITOR Amul has to defend against Mahananda, Vijaya, Milma, and other cooperative
milk brands
Aggressive moves against Britannia, Nestle, Mother Dairy, Kwality
Amul has a competitive sustainable advantage. This lies in the procurement part.
Its ability to collect 7 million liters of milk from 2.6 million farmers and convert it
into Rs. 6 crore worth products and distribute them to 5 lakhs retailers is a tough
job.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF AMUL
STRENGTHS
Demand profile: Absolutely optimistic. Milk being a necessity product, the
demand will stay and the sales at GCMMF are bound to increase over a period of
time.
Margins: Quite reasonable, even on packed liquid milk. The margins are enough
to limit the entry of potential entrants.
Flexibility of product mix: Tremendous. With balancing equipment, GCMMF
has kept adding a wide array of products to its product line. Availability of raw material: Abundant. Presently, more than 80 per cent of
milk produced is flowing into the unorganized sector, which requires proper
channelization. Amul & GCMMF have leveraged this and has got itself a strong
base of suppliers who provide them milk throughout the year .
Technical manpower: Professionally trained, technical human resource pool,
built over last 30 years is the strength that GCMMF has. The employees of GCCMF
are highly recognized in the industry and have earned name for themselves as
well as the federation.
Enhanced Milk Production: Increase in the milk production with consequentlyincreased availability of milk processing has led to increase in consumption and
faster access to the consumers through effective distribution. The technology is
brought from Denmark and the production of milk has benefited from that.
Transportation: The transportation facilities and the easy availability of the
special trucks have provided a boost. Cold refrigerated trucks are there in place
and the warehouses also have the cold storage facilities that facilitate the
transportation.
Vast resources: Country has vast natural resources which offer immense
potential growth and development for dairying. Moreover the financial resources
available with the federation are immense and the reputation is such that in case
-
8/2/2019 Final Amul (1)
25/43
25 | P a g e
of any further requirements, it can approach any institution and raise any form
of capital.
Increasing purchase power and changing tastes of the consumers: The
purchasing power of the residents is increasing. As a result a lot of products are
being consumed. Moreover, the consuming habits are changing. As a result, the
demand for products such as butter and cheese is increasing at a very rapid rate.
WEAKNESSES
Perishability: Pasteurization has overcome this weakness partially. UHT gives milk
long life. Still perishability is there at the milkvendors end. This does result in loss of
some production. But Amul Dairy is taking steps to store milk at the vendors end.
Surely, many new processes will follow to improve milk quality and extend its shelf life.
Lack of control over yield: Theoretically, there is little control over milk yield. A
lot depends upon the monsoon in the country. This is because of the quality of
cattle feed that would be available will not have the required nutritional content.
Steps are taken to provide awareness regarding these and the penetration of
quality feed is being increased. Moreover, increased awareness of developments
like embryo transplant, artificial insemination and properly managed animal
husbandry practices, coupled with higher income to rural milk producers should
automatically lead to improvement in milk yields.
Logistics of procurement: Woes of bad roads and inadequate transportation
facility make milk procurement problematic. All these factors lead to
perishability of the procured milk. But with the overall economic improvement
in India, these problems would also get solved.
Erratic power supply: The erratic power supply would cause harm in the
processing of milk.
Underdeveloped systems: There still exist underdeveloped raw milk collection
systems in some parts of the country. However steps are being taken such as
setting up of cold storage points at key collection centers to combat the situation.
Lack of proper implementation: Dairy development programmes have not
been fully implemented as per the needs of the region in different agro-climatic
zones.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure that is available is not up to the current
world standards. Also lack of infrastructure for offering dairy business
management programmes to the trained personnel is creating a hindrance.
OPPORTUNITIES
"Failure is never final, and success never ending. Dr Kurien bears out this statement
perfectly. He entered the industry when there were only threats. He met failure head-
on, and now he clearly is an example of never ending success! If dairy entrepreneurs
are looking for opportunities in India, the following areas must be tapped:
-
8/2/2019 Final Amul (1)
26/43
26 | P a g e
Competition: With so many newcomers entering this industry, competition is
becoming tougher day by day. But then competition has to be faced as a ground
reality. The market is large enough for many to carve out their niche. Moreover
due to competition, there is a chance to better serve the market with innovative
products.
Value addition: There is a phenomenal scope for innovations in productdevelopment, packaging and presentation. Given below are potential areas of
value addition.
Export potential: Efforts to exploit export potential are already on. Amul is
exporting to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and the Middle East. Following the
new GATT treaty, opportunities will increase tremendously for the export of
agri-products in general and dairy products in particular. There is a strong basis
of cost efficiency, which GCMMF can leverage in the world market.
Markets: The market for the traditional as wells as processed dairy products is
expanding both at the domestic and international front. IT support: Software is now available for project formulation for dairy
enterprise. It has also computerized its production processes. Mother Dairy was
the first fully computerized dairy in India. In its Anand plant all products are
processed computerized, which does not have any hand touch during any stage
of process.
THREATS
Milk vendors, the un-organized sector: Today milk vendors are occupying the
pride of place in the industry. Organized dissemination of information about the
harm that they are doing to producers and consumers should see a steady
decline in their importance.
Infestation: There are increasing incidents of chemical contaminants as well as
residual antibiotics in milk.
Quality: The quality of the milk is found to be poor as compared to the
international standards. One of the reasons for these according to the EU and
America is the method of milching the milk. In these nations the milk is hands by
the farmers owning the cattle do milched with the help of machines, while in
India.
Exploitation: The liberalization of the Dairy Industry is likely to be exploited by
the multinationals. They will be interested manufacturing the milk products,
which yield high profits. It will create milk shortage in the country adversely
affecting the consumers.
Subsidy by Western Nations: There have been incidences wherein the Western
nations subsidizing the dairy products by a few means like transportation.
Because of such reasons the final price of the product goes below the prices
prevailing in the Indian Market. Hence it proves a threat to GCMMFs and other
Indian dairy products.

8/2/2019 Final Amul (1)
27/43
27 | P a g e
Creation of Non Tariff Barriers by Developed Nations: The Developed
Nations have created Non Tariff Barriers related to Quality of the milk
specifically. They want that the milk be processed with potable Air and Water.
They also want that the milching of cattle be done with the help of machines.
However this type if system is yet to evolve in India. Because of these reasons
they are reducing the market potential of Indian made products, where GCMMFholds a lions share.
MICHAEL PORTERS FIVE-FORCE ANALYSIS
The success of the national and local competitors brands includes effective distribution
system, advertising, good pricing policy etc. The factors ascribed by porter are:
Threats of new entrants
Bargaining power of suppliers
Bargaining power of buyers
Rivalry among competitors
Threats from substitutes
These factors can be explained in context to GCMMF as below:
THREATS OF NEW ENTRANTS
Economies of Scale: GCMMF enjoys economies of scale, which is difficult to
match by any other competitor. It is because of this reason that no regional
competitor has grown to a national level.
-
8/2/2019 Final Amul (1)
28/43
28 | P a g e
Cost and Resource advantages: Amul dairy is co-operative society. That means
cooperation among competitive is the fundamental principle. Amul dairy is
managed under the norms of GCMMF and market the products under the brand
name Amul, which has a very good reputation at domestic and international
level. Here, the raw material procurement is very difficult for the new entrants.
Consequently Capital requirement is also high. Still new entrants are emergingsuch as domestic and international players. So the threats of new entrants are
moderate.
Brand Preferences and Consumer Loyalty: There is an immense level of Brand
Preference of Amul in the minds of the people. The level of preference
specifically in the liquid milk sector is that they would go to other retailer if the
retailer does not have milk.
Access to Distribution Channels: The distribution channel of GCMMF is a very
planned and perfect one. For any new entrant to enter it would be a very difficult
task. For GCMMF the result is years of hard work and its investment in itsemployees as well as at different levels in the distribution network.
Inability to match the technology and specialized know-how of firms
already in the industry: The technology used by Amul is imported from
Denmark. It is a state of art technology. To get this technology in India, a firm
would require a huge amount of resources.
Capital Requirements: The total investment required in the industry is huge
and is a decision worth considering even for MNCs. The investment decisions
cover the processing costs as well as the marketing costs. To compete with the
brand Amul in India is difficult as Amul is synonymous to Quality.
BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIER
The objective of Amul dairy is not profiting. As it is a part of co-operative society,
it runs for the benefit of farmers those are the suppliers of milk and users of milk
products. According the concept of the cooperative society supplier has
bargaining power to have a good return on his or her supply. However, supplier
has limited rights to bargain with the cooperative society because it is made and
run for the sake of mass and not for individual benefit. But it is made sure that
the supplier gets his fair share of return.
There is appropriate bargaining power of the supplier. In olden days there were
not any kind of cooperative societies as the farmer was exploited. But, nowadays
the farmers rights are protected under the cooperative rules and regulations,
which ultimately results in moderate power of bargaining from the supplier.
BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS
Cost of switching to competitor brands: The switching of brands is seen very
much in products such as ice cream, curd, milk powders, milk additives etc. but itcan be seen comparatively less in liquid milk category. Even if the buyers shift to
-
8/2/2019 Final Amul (1)
29/43
29 | P a g e
the other brands of milk, the value that they get is less than they would get from
consuming Amul.
Large no. of buyers: Milk is a necessity product and hence is a mass product. It
has a considerable share of the rupee spent by any Indian. Moreover the buyers
are spread evenly over the country and do not have any bargaining power.
RIVALRY AMONG COMPETITORS
Demand for the product: The demand of the products of GCMMF is increasing
at a very healthy rate. To stand against the rivalry GCMMF is coming with a wide
range of products.
Nature of Competitors: In different business category GCMMF faces
competition from different players. In the Milk powder category it faces
competition from Cadbury & Nestle, in the chocolate category also I faces
competition from Cadbury & Nestle. While in the ice cream market it facescompetition from Kwality Walls Max and Havmor. In butter and chesses it faces
competition from Britannia. Moreover in almost all categories there is presence
of local retailers and processors and milk vendors. Rivalry intensifies as each of
the competitors has different lines and this would in turn depend on the
importance the line holds for the competitor.
Mergers and Acquisitions: As such in the industry there are no mergers or
acquisitions. However if any MNC wishes to enter through this route then the
competition might be severe.
THREATS OF SUBSTITUTE
Availability of attractive priced substitutes:Different substitutes are available
for different category of products. There is ample availability of low priced
substitutes from local vendors and retailers. This is a front where GCMMF is still
finding hard to combat.
Satisfaction level of substitutes: Customers do consider these products as
equal on quality if not better then the products of GCMMF. Hence the rate of
customers switching to the substitutes is very high. Moreover the buyers alsocan switch to the customers easily without any hurdles.
Not immediate substitutes: Distant substitutes are present in many of the
categories of business of GCMMF. For example in the Masti Buttermilk category it
faces competition from cold drinks and ice cream.
These 5 forces interact among themselves at different degrees over a period of time.
Moreover it will get intense or loosen up depending upon the moves of its competitors,
buyers, suppliers, etc. However GCMMF has been able to outperform on almost all
fronts excluding a few lines of business.

(CAGR) over the last 3 years and has crossed the Rs.2700 crores mark in the fiscal 2008-
09. Mother Dairy plans to achieve a turnover of $1 billion USD by end of 2009.
Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management Milk Procurement: Mother Dairy sources its requirement of
liquid milk from dairy co-operatives and producer institutions. Milk is received from
farmer cooperatives through insulated road/rail tankers at very low temperature in
order to retain its freshness.
Milk Distribution: 79 tankers in the morning and 75 tankers in the evening bring in milk
from the regional collection centres. After collection the same tankers are utilized for
the delivery of the processed milk to the vendors and outlets. Mother Dairy has over
820 Milk Distribution Outlets in the National Capital Region. Each of these outlets place
their demand by raising an invoice one day in advance. The demand is also calculated
using the Calendar Scheme, in this depending on the pre-calculated seasonal demands
the outlets place their orders accordingly. In order to satisfy immediate demand, 20 to
25 tankers are provided with a buffer stock of 500 litres each day so that they can be
mobilized to cater the demand in an area. To coordinate its operations all the tankersare equipped with HAM radios.

STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED BY MOTHER DAIRY
Focused Approach
The cooperative is expanding its product portfolio further to match rival offerings
particularly those of Amul. For the first 22 years of its existence, liquid milk was the
only dairy product that Mother Dairy offered. It was in 1996 that it came up with ice-
creams. But the real spurt came about four years ago, when it introduced curd, flavored
milk, lassi and mishti doi. It introduced butter a year-and-a half ago; ghee and UTH milk
a year ago; and cheese, about 10 months ago. And under its frozen foods and vegetables
brand Safal, besides the introduction of corn and mixed vegetables, it has plans to come
out with frozen potato-based snacks in a few months. So, while the product portfolio has
been growing, Mother Dairy has plans for reach out to newer markets - but the strategy
here is more product-specific. In liquid milk, it will initially concentrate only on four
markets - Delhi, its home ground; the Junagarh region and Ahmedabad in Gujarat;
Mumbai, which it entered a year ago; and Hyderabad, where it moved in a little more
than a year ago. They have no plans to go everywhere with liquid milk. What's the need
to get into those markets that already have strong co-operative brands? Their objective
of getting into newer locations is not to make Mother Dairy larger, but to ensure thatthere is a large viable distribution network and consumer brand to take care of surplus
milk.
Wider Spread
However, as far as other dairy products are concerned, Mother Dairy plans to expand
across the board. Other than milk, for most state federations, dairy products are still a
small part of their operations. So they are taking their products to regions across India,
where they see enough market potential.
In ice creams, it was only two years ago that Mother Dairy entered its first marketoutside Delhi - UP and Punjab. Today, it's extended its operation to Haryana, Jaipur,
-

Mumbai and Kolkata as well. Next year, it plans to go south to Hyderabad and
Bangalore.
Product Differentiation
While Mother Dairy still may not have a product portfolio as large as Amul, which is also
expanding across the country in a big way and is a much bigger player, it's doing its bit.Mother Dairy says the idea is not just to enter new markets, but to do well in those
markets - which mean bigger market shares in the different product categories in
whichever market it is present.
The drivers will be value created through quality of the offerings as well as innovations
in products. This will, of course, be backed by relevant marketing and promotion
campaigns. Mother Dairy is bringing in mass Indian flavors which are building up in
terms of absolute percentage of contribution. Their attempt is to make the taste
experience in ice creams as familiar as possible so as to increase consumption.
Take the case of curd. It started off very slow but today, Mother Dairy claims it'sgrowing at close to 60 per cent year-on-year in Delhi. Here again, the Indian flavour
formula seems to have worked. They formulated it to taste as close to home-made curd
as possible. If the offering fits well with the Indian consumer, the resistance is lower and
acceptance more.
PERSPECTIVE STRATEGIES APPLIED BY MOTHER DAIRY
Mother Dairy maps the future of dairying in India, setting realistic goals for
Strengthening Cooperative Business Production Enhancement
Assuring Quality
Creating an Information and Development Research.
The plan was realized with the successful completion of the Operation Flood
Programme and has been developed by the State Milk Marketing Federations and the
Milk Producers' Cooperative Unions in consultation with the Dairy Board. The goals and
strategies to meet them have been drawn by its actual implementers - Federation and
Unions and supported by NDDB.
1. Strategy for Strengthening Cooperative Business Recruit, train and motivate increasing numbers of women to work for Mother
Dairy to achieve significant improvements in dairy husbandry, as they primarily
shoulder animal husbandry related responsibilities in rural India.
Consolidation and growth in milk and milk product marketing, promoting better
equity for regional cooperative brands and developing qualified and skilled
manpower.
Education of producer members, opinion leaders and trained professionals to be
expanded and strengthened.
-
8/2/2019 Final Amul (1)
36/43
36 | P a g e
Empower local leaders, strengthen societies and equip their staff and members
with the skills and information they need.
Persuade the State and Central Governments to remove the shackles on
cooperative laws so dairy can compete on equal terms with other forms of
enterprise.
2. Strategy for Production Enhancement
Improve the production potential of indigenous breeds of cattle such as Sahiwal,
Gir, Rathi and Kankrej and breeds of buffalo such as Murrah, Mehsana and
Jaffarbadi through appropriate selection programme.
Cross non-descript cattle with Holestein Friesian in areas with adequate feed and
fodder and with Jersey in resource-poor areas.
Increase the production and use of high quality feed appropriate to local
conditions.
Increase production and availability of green and ensiled fodder Encourage unions, NGOs and cooperatives to put common property area under
improved pasture and fodder tree.
Expand first-aid coverage through village level societies.
Increase vaccination of animals against HS, BQ and FMD
Develop Mastitis and Brucellosis control strategies
3. Strategy for Assuring Quality Identify and address quality related problems at every stage from the producer
at the village cooperative, to the dairy plant and the process of final delivery to
the consumer.
Facilitate improvement of hygiene, sanitation, food safety and operating
efficiency in the dairy plants and sensitize dairy personnel to product quality
aspects as per international standards.
4. Strategy for Creating an Information and Development Research Link large cooperatives, Unions, Federations and NDDB in a national network
that collects, adds value and disseminates information.
Ensure availability of analytical information for Policy Planning and Decision
Support.
Mother Dairy has different plans for its dairy business, which includes flavoured
milk, lassi, curd, butter and cheese besides its toned milks. Each of these
products has a regional stronghold, with a shelf life of 10 days. However, the
company is looking at alternatives that would increase the shelf life and allow
the products to be distributed in other parts of the country as well. In the ice
cream segment, the company has been able to capture 15 per cent of the market,
and hopes to increase it to 20 per cent by 2008.

CURRENT CHANNELS
Mother Dairy is the market leader in the Ice cream segment. Currently it has five
channels of distribution which are:-
1) Milk Shops
2) Retail
3) Vending4) Modern Retail Formats
5) Mother Dairy Food services
MILK SHOPS
Or booths are the most important channels of Mother Dairy. Mother Dairy products are
available in over 5000 outlets out of which about 680 are exclusive Mother Dairy
booths. Mother Dairy Booths are strategically located all across Delhi and NCR, making
it convenient to pick up the daily requirement of Milk, Flavoured milk, Butter, Dahi,
Lassi and Ice Creams. The lifeline of Delhi, Mother Dairy booths all across the city
provide milk early in the morning and at evenings.
The supply of milk and other milk products to these booths are made directly from the
Mother dairy plant. Each Booth in the NCR region is identified with its Booth ID
Number. The booth owners are currently given a margin of 5% on the sale of Mother
Dairy products.
Mother Dairy is providing ready built and fully equipped milk shops/booths to the Ex-
Servicemen, while its Fruit and Vegetable (Safal) Shops are opened for the ESM and
their dependent sons. A security deposit (refundable on termination) is required to be
made to Mother Dairy on selection. The concessionaire will undergo free training for
two to four weeks with Mother Dairy prior to allotment of booths/shops.
RETAIL CHANNEL
The retail channel includes small and big shops which sell Mother Dairy products with a
margin of 15%. Mother Dairy caters to the ice cream demands of this segment that
includes provision stores, bakeries, confectionaries, restaurants etc.
MODERN RETAILThis is a relatively newer channel which includes all the major retail outlets like
Spencers daily, Big Bazaar, More, Reliance retail, etc. Through this, Mother Dairy taps
the overwhelmingly successful organized retail format.
MOTHER DAIRY FOOD SERVICES (MFS)
This channel caters to hotels, banquet halls, the railways as well as airways. All these
come under the MFS. It is a one window stop to provide all Mother Dairy products
(including Dhara oil) to such customers. The margin given to them varies, as it is a
tender- based process. The purpose of this channel is to maintain a strong presence of
Mother Dairy in these areas and in the process gain profit.

VENDING
It is the prime channel of sales of Mother Dairy Ice Creams. These vending carts are
placed strategically in high footfall areas for example outside schools, colleges, parks,
colonies, bus stops, cinema halls, major markets and therefore provides the mobility
and flexibility The supply of ice creams to the vending machines and the maintenance is
done by VRS (Vending Redistribution Stockist).Ice Cream vending Cart is ideal as a light weight cart that is very easy to push and store
ice creams. They are charged by plugging in to a power supply for 8 to 10 hours. These
vehicles are ideal for vending pre-packaged novelty ice cream. There are also high
capacity freezer on wheels which are specially located at India Gate. Dry ice carts are
also used in areas where no electricity is available.
The Vendor gets a margin of 14% on MRP on mother dairy ice creams. One vending cart
can store up to Rs. 5000 worth of ice creams at one time. The typical timings of vendors
going out for vending operation is from afternoon till midnight, depending on their
allocated area. Push carts are a key driver of growth as it contributes around 17% to thetotal revenues.
Mother Dairy has a chain of about 1850 vending carts in Delhi region.
DIVERSIFICATION MOVES BY MOTHER DIARY
After becoming a pan-India player recently, dairy chain Mother Dairy, a subsidiary of
the National Diary Development Board is now eyeing a turnover of one billion dollar in
the next two years.
The dairy chain's topline has been growing at a rate of 22-25 per cent per annum and isexpecting a turnover of Rs 2,700 crore this fiscal. Mother Dairy will be the second dairy
chain in the country after Amul to cross the one billion turnover milestone, if it achieves
the target.
For over three decades, Mother Dairy restricted its presence mainly in the National
Capital Region in the fresh milk and other milk products segment. This year it went for a
market expansion across the country. They have a plan to capture all the top six
markets in the milk and milk products segment in the country.
It has recently entered the fresh milk market in Hyderabad and simultaneously made
foray into curd, ice-cream and lassi segments in Mumbai market. Mother Dairy marketsdairy products such as fresh liquid milk, ice-creams, and other milk products. It also
markets Dhara range of edible oils and the Safal range of fresh fruits and vegetables and
fruit juices.
COMPETITION IN DIFFERENT PRODUCTS
The nature of competition varied among the different products. In the case of liquid
milk, competition is from private dairies and contractors. There was also competition
from newly emerging private dairies that had started supplying milk to the consumers
as well as sweet makers. There was intense competition for the supply of milk, which
was sought after, especially in the festival seasons, by the sweet makers who derived
-
8/2/2019 Final Amul (1)
39/43
39 | P a g e
large profits from the sale of their sweets. Consumers were generally not very particular
about the brand of liquid milk, so that the sales depended to a large extent on dealer
push. However, there was scope to establish differentiation through apprising the
customers of the quality not only of the initial milk itself, but also the quality of the
supply chain, which ensured the stability of milk. For butter and cheese, new entrants
were making their mark. Britannia, a firm engaged in manufacture and sale of biscuits,had entered into foods business, and more particularly in milk and milk related
products such as butter. Britannia had introduced new forms of cheese such as cheddar
cheese slices, and supported its products with extensive advertising campaigns. It was
believed that advertisements played a powerful role in the demand for particular
brands of butter and cheese.
The ice creams market was an emerging market in India, witnessing the entry of
numerous players. The national scene was dominated by Hindustan Lever with its
Kwality and Wallsbrands, accounting for about 45 percent of the market. GCMMF was
the other national player, with about 30 percent of the market. There were, in addition,
very powerful regional players such as Vadilal Ice Creams in the Western India who
commanded substantial (in excess of 30 percent) of the regional market shares. Ice
creams were largely promoted through local promotions, hoardings (billboards) and
advertisements. It could be expected that these companies would also expand their
operations in the coming years.
ADVERTISEMENT AND PROMOTION BY MOTHER DAIRY
On the marketing front, Mother Dairy says it'strying to take its product campaigns and
communications to a higher platform. For
instance, in the case of milk, the campaigns do
not talk about the obvious benefits - milk is
good for health, it has calcium and so on - but
rather it targets children and are created around
ideas such as "The country needs you, grow
faster".
As far as products such as butter, cheese and icecreams go, the campaigns have been created around "taste". For butter again, the focus
is on children. "Amul butter may be selling the most, but the advertising and promotions
are almost always targeted at adults," points out an analyst citing Amul's popular
Utterly-Butterly campaigns.
Here, Mother Dairy has dared to go different. Since 60 per cent butter is consumed by
kids, the company wants them to sit up and take notice of its butter. Makkhan Singh, a
sturdy jovial cow (a cartoon character) has been made its brand ambassador.
While Mother Dairy has been carrying out school programmes - games and activities
involving Makkhan Singh in Delhi, it has plans to take such activities to Mumbai andKolkata as well. It also runs a gaming website on the character to attract children.
Equity and empathy are being built for the brand, the values for which it stands, and the
-

various other Mother Dairy products, which draw their core values from Mother Dairy
milk.
It's cheese for children again. A couple of months ago, Mother Dairy carried out a retail
activity: "Cheese khao superhero ban jao", where kids buying cheese at a retail outlet
were invited for a photo op - dressed as superheros - through Polaroid cameras; and the
framed photograph was presented to them. The activity was carried out in about 150outlets in Delhi and Mumbai, with about 20,000-25,000 snaps being taken.
It claims that the exercise resulted in better ties with retailers. A positive response
made Mother Dairy to repeat it in Kolkota as well. Clearly, Mother Dairy has aggressive
plans. But, strong regional brands and other co-operatives will continue to give it tough
competition. It will not be a cakewalk anymore.
SWOT ANALYSIS OF MOTHER DAIRY
STRENGTHS Indias best-known brand across all categories.
Mother Dairy has Indias one of the biggest frozen highway.
Well-established distribution and delivery network for dairy based product.
Biggest sourcing base for milk and dairy based product.
Mother Dairy has a wide portfolio in the pure milk based ice cream, rather than
frozen dessert.
Large variety of ice cream and its reasonable price gives the value for money to
customer.
Consumers have trust on the brand name of Mother Dairy, which is helping toMother Dairy build up a formidable image.
WEAKNESSES
The main weakness of Mother Dairy is that the advertising strategy is not as
competitive as Kwality walls and other brand.
The replacement policy of Mother Dairy is very tough, and because of this many
retailer dont want to go with Mother Dairy.
One of the major weaknesses is availability of product & services in odd seasons.
Company have no strategy for those canteen owners who don t want to invest in
deep freezer or financially weak.
OPPORTUNITIES
Mother Dairy has the opportunity to capture the most evolved young adult and
children market.
Take an advantage of other companys outlet by convincing the retailer and
provide them extra benefits for selling Mother Dairy ice cream.
In many areas people are not interested to invest big amount on ice cream so
Mother Dairy has a great chance to excel by introducing Ice cream of Rs. 2 or 3.

THREATS
Increasing competition from the other brands.
Strong supply chain management by the competitors.
Strong marketing strategy by competitors by offering
The discount coupons to consumers and providing healthy commissions to the
retailers.
PORTERS FIVE FORCE MODEL
BUYER POWER
Buyer power is determined by various factors such as switching costs, the
relative volume of purchases, the standardization of the product, elasticity of
demand, brand identity, and quality of the products. On one end are the large institutional buyers i.e. big hotels and restaurants
which ask for discounts, extended credit periods and the other end are small
retail outlets like general stores which have no power to negotiate with the
firms.
The power of buyers is relatively high when buyers are large, consisting of
individual customers, grocery stores, convenience stores, and restaurants
nationwide. Since retailers purchase ice cream products in large quantities, this
gives buyers substantial leverage over price.
Customers are able to substitute one brand of ice cream to another at any point
in time. There are many ice cream products to choose from, so the buyerscost
of switching to competing brands is relatively low.
Mother Dairys strategy must include strong product differentiation so that buyers are
less able to switch over without incurring large costs. Mother Dairy upholds a strong
Brand Identity in the Delhi/NCR market. It is perceived as having a higher quality. Thus,
it is a strong point of differentiation.
SUPPLIER POWER
The suppliers to the ice cream industry include dairy farmers, paper container
manufacturers, and suppliers of various flavourings. The principal inputs are
commodities available in competitive markets.
Factors affecting the bargaining power of suppliers include the threat of forward
integration and the concentration of suppliers. There exist numerous potential
suppliers of ingredients. The ingredients provided by each supplier are not
unique or greatly differentiated. Furthermore, ice cream manufacturers are able
to switch between suppliers quickly and cheaply.
Also, many of the suppliersviability is tied to the well-being of large,
established companies. Therefore, the bargaining power of suppliers of
ingredients is rather low.
-
8/2/2019 Final Amul (1)
42/43
42 | P a g e
However, Mother Dairy being a milk co operative has to empower the milk
producers and farmers so that they get a remunerative return. Therefore, a
certain power is vested in the hands of the farmer societies.
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES
There is no perfect substitute to ice creams because of its very nature. However, manysubstitute products are available within the dessert and frozen food industry (cookies,
pies, Popsicles, cakes, chocolates, soft drinks) which are basically food items consumed
at leisure. Since substitute products are readily available and attractively priced, the
competitive pressures posed by substitute products can be considered moderate.
POTENTIAL ENTRANTS
The barriers to entry within the ice cream industry are moderate due to the
brand preferences and customer loyalty towards the larger and more established
companies.
Other obstacles to new entrants include the requirement for large sources of
capital, specialized mixing facilities and manufacturing plants.
In addition, the accessibility of distribution channels can be difficult for an
unknown firm with little or no brand recognition.
INDUSTRIAL RIVALRYThe principal competitors in the ice cream industry are large, diversified companies
with significantly greater resources such as Amul, Kwality Walls, Vadilal and Cream Bell,
besides a lower threat from local manufacturers (kulfi etc. manufacturers).Rivalry can be characterized as intense, given that numerous competitors exist, the cost
of switching to rival brands is low, and the sales-increasing tactics employed by other
rivals threatens to boosts rivals unit volume of production.
Also, recently there has been a surge in the number of ice cream parlours (such as
Baskin Robbins, Gianis) in and around Delhi. The growing popularity of such premium
ice cream parlours providing specialty ice creams will also tend to affect the business of
existing companies.
