8. Introduction Of The Case:
The case “Amul vs. Kwality Walls – Ice Cream Ad War” talks about the repercussions of the
controversial TVC and print media ads put up by Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation
(GCMMF), makers of Amul ice cream. The ads prompted Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL), makers
of ‘Kwality Walls’ frozen dessert and ice creams, along with Vadilal Industries Ltd. and Vadilal
Diary International Ltd. to file a case in the Bombay High Court against Amul for product
disparagement. HUL and its co-petitioners later won the case, thus preventing the controversial ads
from being aired.
The case starts off with a description of the controversial ads, which mainly talked about ice creams
being a healthier option than frozen desserts. The case also delves into the reasons that prompted
Amul to air the ads and the benefits it intended to gain from it. The case then highlights how the ad
war was in reality a disguise for an ongoing brand war between HUL and Amul for market share in
the ice cream market.

• HUL’S RESPONSE
• REALITY – BRAND WARS
• Effect on Brand Image of Amul
10. SOLUTION
Both Amul and HUL presented several arguments in the Bombay High Court. The petitioners pointed
out that there was a deliberate misrepresentation of vegetable oil (Vanaspati Tel) as hydrogenated
vegetable oils (Vanaspati) in Amul’s ads. They thought that the misrepresentation had been done to
benefit Amul’s products. Speaking on the issue, Kiran Khalap, Co-Founder and Managing Director,
Chlorophyll Brand and Communications Consultancy , said, “To me, it’s not ‘frozen desserts’ that
spells the difference, but the negative associations with vanaspati oil. I would presume (the case) will
help Amul positively.”
