How does Amul get 200g paneer for ₹990 from milk that costs ~₹120 for 2L?

I guess they're using the leftover liquid as whey.

[Manish]

They're operating at massive scale... even their cow milk is priced around ₹26‑27 because of that.

We can easily get about 200 g of paneer from just 1 L of buffalo milk, so I'm not sure what you're seeing.

[Sachin]

I'm not sure, but I think buffalo milk is more common in India than cow milk, and their raw material cost differs from what we pay.

[Tushar]

Scale matters. You pay retail price for milk, but Amul purchases it in bulk at a rock‑bottom rate and uses efficient machinery. It's all about scale and economics.

[Akhil]

When I use Amul Taaza, I get about 150‑170 g of paneer from two 500 ml packets.

[Dhruv]

Heard about economies of scale, anyone?

[Arvind]

Economics of scale

[Tanuja]

Then why do the local sellers charge ₹30 per 100 g?

[Umesh]

Because Amul isn't paying ₹60 per litre for milk like we do.
