India Cooking and Edible Oils Market 2025

The India cooking and edible oils market is expected to experience robust growth, with a projected increase of USD 21.4 billion and a CAGR of approximately 9% throughout the forecast period. With over 1.4 billion people and one of the world’s most diverse culinary ecosystems, India represents the largest importer of vegetable oils globally. Urbanization and rising income levels have triggered a notable transition from unrefined, loose oils toward packaged, branded, and fortified alternatives. The burgeoning middle class is increasingly focused on health markers such as low absorbency, trans-fat-free composition, and vitamin fortification, particularly in oils like rice bran, sunflower, and blended formulations. This consumer shift has prompted key players such as Adani Wilmar and Ruchi Soya to expand their premium portfolios and invest in marketing campaigns that center on trust, traceability, and wellness.

Concurrently, the Indian government has initiated a broad-spectrum policy shift aimed at reducing the nation’s long-standing dependence on imported edible oils. The “National Mission on Edible Oils – Oil Palm” (NMEO-OP), launched in 2021, aims to boost domestic production through incentives for oil palm cultivation, particularly in northeastern states and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Subsidies for farmers, infrastructure support for processing units, and interest subvention are being deployed to stimulate local supply chains. This focus on backward integration, alongside import duty calibrations and minimum support pricing for oilseeds such as mustard and soybean, is gradually realigning the procurement dynamics of the industry. Together, these supply- and demand-side developments are reshaping India’s edible oil economy into a more self-sufficient, consumer-centric landscape.
