The price hike follows a similar announcement by Amul, which raised its milk prices by Rs 2 per litre starting Monday. These increases come immediately after the conclusion of the Lok Sabha election voting process.
Mother Dairy stated, «We are increasing our liquid milk prices by Rs 2 per litre across all operating markets from June 03, 2024 onwards.» This decision aims to offset the rising production costs that have been affecting the industry for over a year.
In the Delhi-NCR region, the new prices are as follows: full cream milk at Rs 68 per litre, toned milk at Rs 56 per litre, and double-toned milk at Rs 50 per litre.
