Mother Dairy Raises Milk Prices Following Amuls Lead

New Delhi, May 13: Following Amul India’s recent price hike, Mother Dairy has also increased its milk prices. The new rates, effective from May 14, 2026, reflect an increase of ₹2 per liter.

A spokesperson for Mother Dairy stated that the cost of purchasing milk from farmers has risen by approximately 6% over the past year. Despite efforts to minimize the impact on consumers, adjusting the prices became necessary.

According to the company, this increase is only partial compared to the total costs and aims to maintain a balance between the interests of farmers and consumers.

The spokesperson emphasized that Mother Dairy allocates around 75% to 80% of its revenue from milk sales to farmers and milk procurement. This support helps sustain farmers’ livelihoods while ensuring a consistent supply of quality milk to consumers.

The last adjustment in milk prices occurred in April 2025.

Under the new pricing structure, bulk vended milk (token milk) will now cost ₹58 per liter, up from ₹56. Full cream milk will be priced at ₹72 per liter instead of ₹70.

Toned milk will see a price increase from ₹58 to ₹60 per liter, while double toned milk (live light) will rise from ₹52 to ₹54 per liter.

The price of cow’s milk has been adjusted from ₹60 to ₹62 per liter, and pro milk will now cost ₹72 instead of ₹70.

Previously, Amul India announced a price increase of up to ₹2 per liter for its milk products. This hike applies to Amul Fresh, Amul Gold, Amul Shakti, Amul Tea Special, and other major variants.

Now, a 500 ml pack of Amul Fresh will cost ₹29 instead of ₹28, while a 1-liter pack will rise from ₹55 to ₹57. The price of Amul cow milk in a 500 ml pack has increased from ₹29 to ₹30. Amul Shakti’s 500 ml pack will now be priced at ₹32 instead of ₹31. Additionally, the price of Amul Tea Special’s 1-liter pack will go up from ₹63 to ₹66, and Amul Gold’s 500 ml pack will now cost ₹35 instead of ₹34.

Furthermore, the price of Amul Buffalo Milk in a 500 ml pack has increased from ₹37 to ₹39.
