🥛 ₹2 LAKH TO A STEADY CASH MACHINE: WHY AMUL STORES ARE SILENTLY PRINTING MONEY
🔥 1. The business India Keeps Ignoring
While social media chases unicorn startups, Amul is quietly offering one of the lowest-risk, highest-stability retail models in the country. With an investment range of ₹2–6 lakh, an Amul outlet can realistically generate ₹40,000 to ₹1.5 lakh in monthly profit—not projections, but math driven by volume and margins.
This isn’t hype. It’s habit-driven consumption.
🧠 2. The No-Frills Franchise That Actually Works
Unlike traditional franchises that bleed operators through royalties and revenue sharing, Amul runs a stock-and-sell model. You buy products from authorized Amul distributors at a discount and sell them at MRP.
That’s it.
No royalty.
No revenue cut.
No monthly franchise fees.
Whatever remains after expenses is yours.
🏪 3. Two Formats. Two Risk Profiles. Same Brand Power
🟢 A. Preferred Outlet / Kiosk / Railway Parlour (₹2 Lakh Investment)
Space: 100–150 sq ft
Locations: Markets, residential areas, bus/railway stations
Products: Milk, curd, butter, paneer, ghee, cheese, packaged ice creams
Cost breakup:
Refundable security deposit: ₹25,000
Freezers & display racks: ~₹70,000
Initial setup & stock: balance
This format thrives on daily essentials and footfall.
🔥 B. ice cream Scooping Parlour (₹5–6 Lakh Investment)
Space: 300+ sq ft
Focus: Sundaes, thick shakes, floats, sandwiches, desserts
Cost breakup:
Brand security: ₹50,000 (often non-refundable)
Interiors: ~₹4,00,000
Equipment (scooping cabinets, blenders, billing): ~₹50,000
This is where real margins live.
💰 4. Margins: Where the Game Actually Changes
Not all products are equal—and Amul knows it.
Milk packets: ~2.5% margin (volume play)
Packaged dairy (cheese, butter, paneer): 10–20%
Pre-packed ice creams: Up to 20%
Recipe-based items (shakes, sundaes): Up to 50%
Translation:
Packets keep the lights on.
Recipes build profit.
📈 5. Why Some Stores Make ₹40K—and Others ₹1.5L+
The difference isn’t luck. Its operations.
High footfall location
Smart product mix
Aggressive focus on scoops and recipes
Clean store, fast billing, visible branding
Amul gives the product.
You create the multiplier.
🧾 6. Eligibility Isn’t Fancy—It’s Practical
To apply, you need:
indian citizenship (18+)
Commercial space in a visible location
PAN, Aadhaar, GST registration

Amul or its distributor inspects the site before approval. No shortcuts—but no hidden traps either.
🛠️ 7. Support Without Micromanagement
Once approved, Amul provides:
Layout and branding guidance
Training on billing, storage, and handling
Product display best practices
But there’s one non-negotiable rule:

🧨 8. Why This Model Survives Every Downturn
People may cut back on phones, travel, or fashion—but they don’t stop buying milk, butter, or ice cream. Amul’s strength lies in daily consumption + brand trust. That’s recession insurance most businesses can only dream of.
