J&K trout output hits 3,010 tonnes as Kashmir Trout, Khyber scale premium supply to metros
Jammu & Kashmir now produces over half of India's trout at 3,010 tonnes in 2024-25. Kashmir Trout has crossed ₹1 crore in revenue with 200 tonnes via 250 farmers, while 2,077 private units feed retail and restaurant demand in Delhi (₹1,300/kg), Bengaluru (₹1,500/kg) and beyond.
J&K leads India's trout output at 3,010 tonnes, over half the national total. Kashmir Trout, Khyber Aquaculture and 2,000+ private units are scaling premium cold-water fish supply to Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata via retail outlets, restaurants and caviar.
Why this matters
Kashmir Trout's ₹1 crore revenue milestone signals the brand's shift from cooperative aquaculture to premium metro retail, riding J&K's 3,010-tonne production scale and 2,077 private units feeding Delhi and Bengaluru demand.
Retail-brand signals steady at 2,016 over 90 days, reflecting consistent premium category activity.
