Mother Dairy ka Record Revenue, Par Margin Ka Pressure?
Mother Dairy ne fiscal year 2025-26 mein zabardast performance dikhaya hai, revenue 17% badh kar ₹20,300 Crore tak pahunch gaya. Ye pichhle 5 saalon mein company ka revenue double hone ka sign hai, jo dairy, cooking oil, aur horticulture products ki strong demand dikhata hai. Dairy segment ne akele ₹15,000 Crore se zyada ka contribution diya, jismein value-added products kaafi achhe perform kar rahe hain. Edible oils aur horticulture ne milakar ₹5,000 Crore jode. Company ne value-added dairy aur edible oils par focus kiya, jismein 23% aur 25% ka growth mila. Delhi-NCR region se abhi bhi sabse zyada matlab 63% revenue aata hai. Digital channels bhi strong hain, quick commerce se 5% ka contribution mila. Is fiscal year 2026-27 ke liye, Mother Dairy ne 20% revenue growth ka target set kiya hai.
Cost Badhi, Par Price Nahi Badhaya!
Itna achha revenue hone ke baad bhi, Mother Dairy ko input costs ki wajah se thodi mushkil ho rahi hai. Packaging material ke prices 20% badh gaye hain aur doodh kharidne ka kharcha bhi badha hai. Lekin company ne strategy banayi hai ki consumer prices nahi badhayenge. Iska reason market share maintain karna aur logon ke liye afford karna easy rakhna hai, khas kar doodh ke maamle mein. Lekin is decision se profit margins par pressure aayega. Pure Indian dairy sector mein hi milk procurement prices aur packaging jaise kharchon ki wajah se margins tight chal rahe hain. Reports bata rahi hain ki FY26 ke March quarter mein milk procurement prices ₹3–₹4 per litre badh gaye hain.
Expansion Plans Aur Nayi Strategy
Mother Dairy apni capacity badhane ke liye serious hai aur ₹2,000 Crore ka capex karne wali hai. Naye dairy aur horticulture plants Maharashtra, Gujarat, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, aur Uttar Pradesh mein lagane wale hain, jo next year end tak ready ho jayenge. Company apne products ki range bhi expand kar rahi hai, jaise ki high-protein 'Pro' range. Pure Indian dairy sector mein bhi value-added products ka trend chal raha hai kyunki log health-conscious ho rahe hain.
Margin Pressure Aur Delhi-NCR Par Reliance
Mother Dairy ka revenue to achha grow ho raha hai, par costs absorb karne ki wajah se profit margins par risk hai. Indian dairy industry mushkil time se guzar rahi hai kyunki doodh ki kharidari ka kharcha badhne se profitability kam ho rahi hai. Lagta hai ki 2026 tak margins pressure mein hi rahenge. Mother Dairy publicly listed nahi hai, toh exact financial figures nahi pata, par sector trends bata rahe hain ki bina price badhaye profit maintain karna tough hoga. Delhi-NCR region par 63% revenue ke liye itna depend karna thoda risky ho sakta hai agar local market mein koi issue aaye. Amul ₹4.1 billion brand value ke saath sabse bada player hai, jabki Mother Dairy ₹1.15 billion ke saath second par hai. Nandini jaise players bhi ab Delhi-NCR jaise markets mein enter kar rahe hain.
Aage Kya?
Company ne ₹2,000 Crore ka capex plan kiya hai naye plants ke liye aur growth targets bhi ambitious hain. Unka focus current categories mein product range badhane par hai, especially health-conscious segments mein. Cost pressure ke bawajood, company ka long-term vision strong lag raha hai agar wo margins ko manage kar payein.
