This massive output increase raised production from an initial million tonnes to over million tonnes, confirming India’s dominant role in the international dairy sector and its vital contribution to the global food supply chain. The sheer scale of this production means that India now contributes nearly a quarter of the world’s total milk supply, maintaining its firm grip on the first position globally.

This means that by the period, the daily availability had reached over grams per person, setting a high benchmark for nutrition.
When viewed from a perspective of international dairy economics, India’s achievement in per capita availability is particularly notable. At over grams per person daily, the country’s current milk supply rate is significantly greater than the current world average. The global average stands at approximately grams per person a day, showcasing the success of India’s policies and investment in dairy development.
