History
Early period
The history of dairy in the Indian subcontinent goes back roughly 8,000 years to the first domestication of
In the
Yogurt (curd) was another form in which milk was consumed during the period. The Vedas describe
Indologist Wendy Doniger compares Vedic peoples to American cowboys, noting that they would often go on raids for the cattle of their rivals.[12] She further observes that Vedic groups viewed cattle as a form of wealth.[6]
According to the
Milk, curds, and ghee were important elements of food in the Indian subcontinent over the reigns of rulers from different religious backgrounds. A number of foreign travellers noted the presence of dairy products in the Indian diet.[16]
Modern period
Dairy in India was once a largely subsistence-oriented occupation intended to produce milk for home consumption. In 1919, a dairy animal census was conducted for the first time by British colonial officials.[17] A report authored in 1937 indicated a sub-optimal rate of milk consumption in the country. It estimated a per capita intake of 7 ounces (200 g) per day (inclusive of all dairy products), which was the lowest among all large dairy countries. Low productivity of dairy animals and widespread poverty were the challenges in increasing dairy production and consumption. Consumption varied by geographic and economic conditions, but was on the whole quite low.[18]
In the 1920s, modern milk processing and marketing technologies were introduced in India. The
Operation Flood proceeded in three phases. Phase I (1970–1981) focussed on developing dairy production in areas surrounding New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai.[23] Phase II (beginning 1986), a larger phase of the project, expanded investment to 147 urban centres across the country.[24] Phase III, which continued to the mid-1990s, expanded investment still further, to a number of smaller towns.[25] In addition to investments by the government of India, several phases of Operation Flood were funded in part by the World Bank and European Economic Community.[26]
India has been the world's largest milk producer since 1997, when it surpassed the United States.[27][28]

Another common use of milk is in tea (chai). Most tea consumed in India is sugared milk tea.[36] Drinking tea became ingrained in Indian culture over the 20th century,[37] with a per capita consumption of 0.78 kilograms (1.7 lb) as of 2018.[38]
Religion
The cow has a sacred status in
Ancient Indian cosmology postulated that the Earth's continents were submerged in a variety of dairy products, including milk and ghee.[45]
According to Wendy Doniger, during the early Common Era, the ideal Hindu devotee's practice changed from sacrifice and consumption of cows to milking of cows.[46] In other words, she argues, there was a cultural shift between "hunting" cows and "preserving" them in order to use products such as milk.[47] Milk, curd and ghee were three of the five sacred cow products for Hindus.[48]
Milk is one of the offerings made by devotees in a number of Hindu festivals, such as
There was some conflict in early
Jainism, even with its more extreme views on ahiṃsā and vegetarianism, does not prohibit consumption of dairy products. While the Jain doctrine prohibits intentional infliction of suffering or distress to any multi-sensed being, most Jains do consume dairy products. This has been source of tension in the religion. Some Jains argue that dairy (along with other animal products like wool) can be produced without causing hiṃsā (harm). However, this ignores the reality of industrial dairy production which typically causes great distress to the animals. The sentiment in the Jain community is growing in the direction of veganism.[56]
Traditional medicine
Milk plays a part in Ayurveda, a form of alternative medicine practised in India.[57] Ayurveda recommends daily consumption of milk because of its good digestive and sedative properties.[58]
Production
India has the highest level of milk production and consumption of all countries.[59][60] The annual production was 186 million tonnes as of 2018[update].[61]
As of 2020[update], approximately 4.2% of India's gross domestic product was due to dairy production.[62] In 2019, the Indian dairy sector was reported to be growing at 4.9% yearly.[63] In 2018–19, the Government of India reported that 187.7 million tonnes of milk had been produced, and that the per capita availability of milk in India was 394 grams per day.[64]
India has a population of over 300 million
The population of indigenous breeds of cattle have steadily been decreasing, while that of the more productive exotic and cross-bred breeds has been increasing.[65] Indigenous cows produce about 3.73 kilograms (8.2 lb) of milk per day, compared to 7.61 kilograms (16.8 lb) per day for cross-bred cows and 11.48 kilograms (25.3 lb) per day for exotic cows.[39] However, according to some experts, the milk of indigenous cows have higher nutritional value and thus their declining population can have long-term health and environmental effects.[65]
Today, India is largely self-sufficient in milk production.[68][69] Until the country's independence in 1947, dairy production and trade were almost entirely in the household sector. Isolated attempts at forming milk production co-operatives were made in the 1930s and 1940s, but this was successful only after independence.[70] Milk production in India increased approximately threefold between 1968 and 2001, when it reached 80 million metric tonnes per year.[71] As of 2004–05, milk production was estimated to be of 90.7 million metric tonnes.[72] As of 2010, the dairy industry accounted for 20% of India's gross agricultural output.[69]
In Maharashtra alone, there are approximately 4 million dairy farmers,[73] although as of 2014 Gujarat had the highest dairy output of the states and union territories of India.[74] The livestock sector in India is characterised by large numbers but little productivity across species. As of 1992, the number of cattle, the most populous species, was 204 million.[75] Dairy production in India comes primarily from small-scale dairy farmers; most of India's 75 million rural dairy farms consist of 10 cattle or less and are family-owned and operated.[76]
Use of water buffaloes
The dairy industry in India is unique among large-scale milk producing countries in terms of its large share of
Dairy farmers in the many states prefer buffaloes due to the difficulty in disposing off dry cows due to the revered status of the cow,[78] whereas water buffaloes are usually sold for slaughter once they are past their milk cycle or when the yield reduces.[83] The slaughter of cows is banned in most Indian states.[84]
Buffaloes metabolise low-quality feed more efficiently than cattle, and buffalo
Some farmers prefer buffalo milk due to the higher fat content of the milk, as milk prices are determined by fat content.[84] Buffalo milk contains 7–7.5% fat, which is almost double of that of cow milk.[78] A number of traditional dairy products owe their characteristics to buffalo milk.[85] It is preferred for production of high-fat dairy products such as paneer,[87] though cow milk is preferred for chhena.[88]
Due to several biochemical differences with cow milk, many conventional dairy processing technologies—which are built for cow milk—are unsuitable for buffalo milk. Productivity gains in the buffalo milk industry have been limited by inadequate research. Scientific results obtained on cow milk generally cannot be extrapolated to buffalo milk.[85]
Cattle cross-breeding programmes
Cross-breeding of cattle started in India in 1875, though it did not receive much attention from policy-makers until 1961.[89] Since 1965, cross-breeding of indigenous breeds with exotic ones has been extensively carried out with the intent to improve milk production.[90] However, such programmes have generated a lot of controversy.[91]
The first figures on population of cross-bred cattle, from the livestock census in 1982, indicated that they made up 4.6% of the country's cattle. Half of them were in Uttar Pradesh and Kerala, with Kerala having replaced 46% of its indigenous cattle with cross-breds.[91]
In 1965, the panel on animal husbandry recommended the use of
A review in 1984 concluded that cross-bred cows were more suitable for high milk production than indigenous cattle or buffaloes. They were also found to be more efficient in converting feed into milk. Subsequent studies in later years came to similar conclusions and noted the impact of cross-breeding on increased production and rural development.[93] Cross-breeding also resulted in increased rates of conception, shorter dry periods, and substantially longer lactation lengths.[94]
Processing
Packaged milk
According to estimates, about 25% of the total milk produced undergoes commercial processing, of which about 70% is sold as packaged milk while the remaining 30% is used for preparation of dairy products. Packaged milk is typically pasteurised milk, and is usually a mixture of cow milk and buffalo milk since most dairies do not have separate collection systems for them. It is sold in variants on the basis of the fat content:[95]
Variant | % fat | % solid-not-fat (SNF) |
---|---|---|
Full cream milk | 6% | 9% |
Standardised milk | 4.5% | 8.5% |
Toned milk | 3.0% | 8.5% |
Double toned milk | 1.5% | 9% |
Skimmed milk | 0.5% | 8.7% |
Dairy products
A large variety of dairy products are produced in India through methods that have developed in complex ways.
Fermentation-based processes are used to produce products such as
Additive coagulation processes yield
Consumption
Milk consumption levels are not uniformly distributed across India. The people of northwest, north, central & western India are significant consumers with south India being a moderate consumer; northeastern regions consume almost no dairy with Assam being an exception. Consumption of dairy products are one of the biggest sources of protein for vegetarians.[105][106] Milk has an income elasticity of demand greater than unity: consumption increases as income levels rise.[107]
Per capita consumption of milk over 30 days was 4.333 litres (1.145 US gal) for rural households and 5.422 litres (1.432 US gal) for urban households as of 2011–12.[108] The corresponding monthly expenditure was ₹116.33 for rural and ₹186.47 for urban consumers respectively.[106]
As of 2018, fluid milk consumption was projected at 67.7 million tonnes, and was growing at a rate of 6–7 million tonnes annually. Ghee is the most consumed among value-added dairy products. Demand for non-fat dried milk (NFDM) and butter was projected to be 600,000 tonnes and 5.6 million tonnes respectively.[109] Demand for pasteurised milk produced in the formal (organised) sector has been increasing, probably due to its perceived safety over the milk produced in the unorganised sector.[110]
Regulation
Cattle and dairy production
The key regulatory body for dairy production is the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAH&D), which is under the
Certification of cattle health is conducted by the Veterinary Council of India, which is funded by the DAH&D. The Veterinary Council of India establishes regulations for inspection of dairy cattle, and for measures to control the spread of disease and strengthening livestock.[115] Livestock in the dairy industry are also regulated by the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1960, under which guidelines are issued regarding milking, artificial insemination, and transport of cattle. These guidelines are monitored and enforced by the DAH&D.[116] The slaughter of dairy cattle, and cows in particular, is prohibited in many states in India, and in 2017, the Union Government issued the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Regulation of Livestock Market) Rules 2017 which prohibited the sale of lactating cattle for slaughter.[117]
Under the Essential Commodities Act 1955, the Government of India can issue orders to control the regulation, supply and sale of products in India. The Milk and Milk Products Order (MMPO) issued under this act in 1992 is still in force, and requires any person handling more than 10,000 liters of milk to register with the Central and State Governments.[118]
Adulteration and food safety
"Synthetic milk" – a mixture of urea detergent powder, vegetable oil, fat, and salt, and water – has been sold openly as milk in the northern Indian states. The mixture has colour and fat content similar to that of natural milk, but can be produced at a fraction of the price.

Imports
India currently imposes duties on imported milk products, including processed milk powder and dairy derivatives such as butter, cheese, whey, and yoghurt. Of these, whey and cheese form India's largest imports, most of which are used in further processing and food production. The issue of relaxing import duties on dairy products has been a point of negotiation for India in the context of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.[107][133]
In 2011, the FSSAI banned the import of all cheese into the country that used animal rennet – a substance which is extracted from the stomach of newborn calves, killing the animal in the process. Import of animal rennet itself has been banned since 1984.[134]
In 2020, an industry proposal to allow the import of skimmed milk powder into India without any import duties was met with protests and resistance from Indian dairy producers, including Amul, on the grounds that it would harm domestic milk production.[135]
Due to religious reasons, imports of most dairy products into India require certification that the animals involved have not been fed on feed containing extracts of ruminant origin. As a consequence, most U.S dairy products are prohibited from import. The Indian and U.S governments have had trade discussions over U.S access to the Indian dairy market.[136][59]
Since 2008, the Indian government has placed bans on the import of milk, and products containing it, from China. These bans came in response to the reported presence of melamine – a toxic substance – in the milk.[137][138]
Exports
During 2019–20, India exported 51,421.85 metric tonnes of dairy products, at a total value of ₹1,341.03 crore (US$186.71 million). Major destinations for its exports were United Arab Emirates, Bhutan, Turkey, Egypt, and the United States.[139] Due to a high level of domestic consumption paired with global prices of an un-competitive nature, India's exports of dairy products are minimal.[140]
