Amul and Mother Dairy hike milk prices from November 12
Dairy majors Amul and Mother Dairy have increased milk rates by up to Rs 4 per litre due to rising procurement costs.
Dairy majors Amul and Mother Dairy are increasing milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre effective from Thursday, November 12, according to reports from Times of India and PTI.
The Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets Amul products, announced a 4-5 per cent increase in fresh pouch milk prices across major variants in India. The federation stated that the price of Amul Taaza toned milk with 3 per cent milk fat increased by Rs 2 per litre, while Amul Gold milk with 6 per cent milk fat rose by Rs 4 per litre.
GCMMF attributed the hike to a sharp rise in production and processing costs, including expenses for cattle feed, fodder, packaging film, and fuel. The federation also noted that low and uneven rainfall in Gujarat and other parts of India created challenging environmental circumstances.
Mother Dairy, the largest milk supplier in Delhi-NCR, has also revised prices for several liquid milk variants. In the Delhi-NCR market, the price of full-cream pouch milk has risen to Rs 76 per litre from Rs 72, while cow milk will now cost Rs 65 per litre, up from Rs 62.
Other Mother Dairy price revisions include toned milk in bulk vending machines rising to Rs 60 per litre from Rs 58, and pouch toned milk increasing to Rs 62 from Rs 60. Double-toned milk has increased to Rs 56 per litre from Rs 54.
Sources told PTI that higher procurement costs prompted the Mother Dairy increase, as the company passes 75-80 per cent of its milk sales realisation to farmers. This follows a previous price revision by the company on May 14, 2026.
