Amul (GCMMF) base rate 2024: ₹31/litre at 3.5% fat, 8.5% SNF. Fat bonus: ₹6 per 0.1% fat above base. Gir cow milk at 4.5% fat gets extra ₹6/litre = ₹37/litre effective rate.
Gir cow: 10L/day × ₹37 (Amul 4.5% fat) = ₹370/day = ₹11,100/month income. After costs (feed ₹150 + vet ₹10 + labor ₹50) = ₹210 cost → ₹160/day profit = ₹4,800/month.
Fat bonus at Amul: ₹6 per 0.1% fat above 3.5% base. Example: 4.5% fat = 1.0% above base = 10 × ₹6 = ₹60 bonus per litre. This is added to base rate of ₹31 = ₹37/litre effective.
Jaffarabadi buffalo: 14L/day, 7% fat. At Amul: ₹31 + (7-3.5)%×10×₹6 = ₹31+₹210 = ₹241/litre... Note: actual Amul pays different for buffalo — approximately ₹55-65/litre for 7% fat buffalo milk.
Break-even = Total daily cost ÷ rate per litre. Example: 2 cows, total cost ₹460/day, rate ₹37/L = 12.4 litres break-even. You must produce 12.4L/day to cover costs. Any production above this is profit.
