Yes — a well-managed indigenous dairy farm with Gir or Sahiwal cows can earn ₹8,000–25,000 net profit per cow per month selling A2 milk at ₹80–100/L. Profitability depends on milk yield, local selling price, and feed costs.
A well-managed Gir cow gives 8–12 litres/day at peak lactation. Elite milking lines can yield 15–18 litres/day.
For a typical Gir cow purchased at ₹75,000, with 10 L/day yield and ₹80/L A2 price, the payback period is approximately 14–18 months from milk income alone.
Monthly maintenance for an indigenous cow ranges ₹4,000–8,000. Gir cows from Saurashtra average ₹4,500–7,000/month including feed, vet, and water.
