Mother Dairy and Amul hike milk prices in Delhi-NCR and India
Dairy companies are increasing milk prices by up to Rs 6 per litre from November 12 due to rising input costs.
Dairy companies Mother Dairy and Amul are increasing milk prices in Delhi-NCR and across India effective from November 12, according to reports by The Times of India and The Hindu.
The Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which sells products under the Amul brand, stated that prices for fresh pouch milk will increase by 4-5 per cent across major variants. GCMMF cited a steep rise in input costs for milk production and processing, including green and dry fodder, cattle feed ingredients, packaging film, and fuel.
In Delhi-NCR, Mother Dairy and Amul will implement price hikes ranging from Rs 2 to Rs 6 per litre. For Mother Dairy, packaged full cream milk will cost Rs 76 per litre, up from Rs 72, while full cream buffalo milk will cost Rs 86 per litre, up from Rs 80. Toned milk sold through bulk vending machines will cost Rs 60, up from Rs 58.
Amul Gold milk with 6 per cent milk fat will increase by Rs 4 per litre, while Amul Taaza toned milk with 3 per cent milk fat will increase by Rs 2 per litre, according to GCMMF. The federation noted that the increase is intended to pay better prices to producers and support them during challenging environmental circumstances caused by low and uneven rainfall.
Mother Dairy, a subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), previously increased prices on May 14, 2026. The company pays farmers 75-80 per cent of the money it earns from milk sales, according to industry sources.
