According to recent estimates, we’re now more than 1.46 billion people living within the borders of India, and without a single doubt, the food needs for all these people certainly make India one of the biggest consumers and customers of big food companies out there. Just take a look at the recent estimate, which suggests that India’s food industry has the capability to grow to as much as $735 billion by 2032. That is just insane level growth right there. And sure enough, there are many food companies in India that will not only bring this growth but also take a good advantage of it by fulfilling the need, and that is precisely the reason why we’re here to talk about the Top 10 Major Food Companies In India 2025.
1. Nestle India
We don’t think it is a surprise to anybody that Nestle India is leading the list this year, too. The company has been running the Indian homes for a long time with products such as Maggi, KitKat, Nescafé, and Cerelac. With such a strong presence, it is almost like a company that goes hand in hand with daily life in the Indian way of living. By 2025, Nestle’s market cap had gone beyond ₹2.3 lakh crore, and its revenues were nearing ₹10,000 crore per year. Honestly, it would be hard to find a food brand that has managed such a level of trust and change in India.
2. Amul
This year, for more than just the memory, we wanted to show the true extent of the reign of this brand and put Amul in the second position. With revenues exceeding ₹90,000 crores, Amul is not simply a milk brand anymore; it is a BIG name in the Indian food industry. With the huge cooperative system supported by 3.6 million farmers, Amul is able to supply all the way from the smallest villages the products that go from butter and paneer to drinks and ice creams.
3. ITC Foods
Were you aware that ITC used to be primarily a tobacco company? Skip to 2025, the food segment of the company is one of the biggest in the nation. Thus, the reason for us to rank it at the third position. Aashirvaad, Sunfeast, Bingo, and Yippee have become major contributors to ITC’s revenue of over ₹75,000 crores. The company is strong because of its extensive distribution, continuous innovation, and huge investments in the entire agricultural supply chain, which not only allows it to maintain a significant lead over its competitors but also makes it very difficult for them to replicate these advantages at this HUGE of a scale.
4. Britannia
Britannia is at the fourth position, one of these very few legacy brands that has been able to maintain its relevance in every generation. Keeping a market cap of ₹1.46 lakh crore and with more than ₹17,500 crore of revenue, it is still ruling the biscuit and bakery segment. It is not only the products like Good Day, Marie Gold, NutriChoice, and 50-50 that make Britannia what it is. Britannia is also making inroads into dairy, protein-rich snack, and health-centric segments.
5. Hindustan Unilever (Food & Refreshment Division)
A lot of people associate HUL with soaps and shampoos, while actually their food division is making a lot of money every year without much noise, and that is the reason why it is ranked at number five. Despite a total revenue of ₹50,401 crores, HUL’s food and beverages (F&B) business still constitutes one significant earner for the company in 2025.
6. Varun Beverages
Few people are aware that Varun Beverages is the major bottler of PepsiCo in India, and that is just one of the things that put it in the sixth position on this list. The company, which is worth ₹1.58 lakh crore in the stock market and whose portfolio, like Pepsi, 7UP, Tropicana, and Aquafina, is spread far and wide, has the drinks aisle under its control.
7. Tata Consumer Products
There is a possibility that the consumer goods division of Tata might not receive the attention it deserves, but still, it has been going up in the Indian food market with consistency and tactics. It is the reason that we rank it at the seventh position with utmost confidence. Through well-known brands such as Tata Salt, Tata Tea, Tetley, and Tata Sampann, the company achieved a turnover of over ₹13,783 crores this year. Some of its purchases, like Organic India and Capital Foods, are clear signs that the company is making a strong move in the health and organic segments and thus has an extensive portfolio in the field.
8. Haldiram’s
It is quite impossible that one might miss Haldiram’s while going through a list of top food companies in India. Ranking 8th on the list, the company, which is owned by the shareholders of the company, has declared revenues of ₹12,800 crore for the current year, and if we consider its restaurant and export businesses, the total turnover would be much higher than that. It sure and still is among the topmost reliable and popular indigenous food brands in India.
9. Parle Agro
Most people connect Frooti with the hot summer of their childhood, but Parle Agro is no longer just that. With a revenue of ₹7,344 crore, it is the ninth-ranking company in the FMCG sector in India, and with its success, it has been able to maintain this position. With eye-catching packaging, reasonable prices, and a steadily growing rural distribution, the company has wisely penetrated the youth market.
10. LT Foods
Last but not least, we have LT Foods, which is primarily recognized for Daawat, which is one of the top basmati rice brands of India. However, their regular expansion in international markets is what makes them a 2025 standout. LT Foods is no more a one-rice company with a revenue of ₹8,770 crore and an international trade of more than 80 countries.
Conclusion

And from your personal experience and by taking a look at the facts and figures in this post, you now have a good idea of what roles these companies play in India. Correct?
