The government data details a consistent upward trend for J&K over three consecutive fiscal years, moving from 2.82 million tonnes (572 g/day) in 2022–23 to 2.87 million tonnes (577 g/day) in 2023–24, before reaching 2.97 million tonnes in 2024–25. In contrast, the neighboring Union Territory of Ladakh experienced a modest decline over the same period, with annual production dropping from 0.03 million tonnes in 2022–23 to 0.02 million tonnes in 2024–25, reducing its per capita milk availability from 280 grams per day down to 214 grams per day.

Central financial support has played a significant role in sustaining J&K’s dairy expansion through flagship Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying schemes. Under the Rashtriya Gokul Mission (RGM), J&K received ₹61.20 crore in 2024–25 and ₹14.13 crore in 2025–26. Additional funding streams included the Livestock Health and Disease Control Programme (LHDCP), which disbursed ₹20.37 crore in 2024–25 and ₹16.50 crore in 2025–26, as well as the National Livestock Mission (NLM), which expanded funding to ₹9.10 crore in 2025–26 to improve feed availability and livestock productivity.

The minister highlighted nationwide progress under White Revolution 2.0, noting that as of June 2026, 36,611 new Dairy Cooperative Societies have been organized and 34,557 existing societies strengthened via National Programme for Dairy Development (NPDD) grants. Across India, these initiatives have established 168 lakh litres per day in milk-chilling capacity, distributed nearly 76,750 quality-testing devices, and approved dairy processing and value-addition projects totalizing 418 lakh litres per day under the Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF).
