Mother Dairy Announces Price Hike for Milk Products Effective November 12

New Delhi, November 11 (Daily Kiran) : Mother Dairy, a leading dairy company in India, has announced an increase in the prices of its liquid milk products by ₹2 to ₹4 per liter. The new rates will take effect on November 12, 2026. This price adjustment follows a similar announcement from Amul regarding their milk prices.

The company attributed the hike to the uneven monsoon affecting the availability of green and dry fodder, which has raised costs for dairy farmers. Additionally, increases in animal feed, packaging, transportation, and other operational expenses have contributed to the decision.

According to Mother Dairy, the prices of green and dry fodder have surged by approximately 20% over the past year, while the cost of animal feed has risen by about 10%. Furthermore, operational costs for packaging and transportation have seen increases of up to 25%.

The company stated that the ongoing rise in production and operational costs necessitated a revision in consumer prices. Under the new pricing structure, bulk-vended milk will now cost ₹60 per liter, up from ₹58. Toned milk will increase from ₹60 to ₹62 per liter, while double-toned milk will rise from ₹54 to ₹56. Cow milk prices will also see a hike of ₹3, now priced at ₹65 per liter. Both full cream and pro milk will see an increase of ₹4 per liter, bringing their prices to ₹76 from ₹72.

A spokesperson for Mother Dairy emphasized the company’s commitment to balancing the interests of both farmers and consumers. Approximately 75% to 80% of the revenue from milk sales is spent on procurement, supporting the livelihoods of millions of dairy farmers while ensuring a consistent supply of quality milk to consumers.

The price increase is aimed at managing the pressures of rising costs while ensuring better compensation for dairy farmers.
