Mother Dairy Raises Milk Prices in Delhi, Sparking Public Concern Over Inflation
Mother Dairys recent price hike on milk has left Delhi residents worried about rising inflation and its impact on daily expenses.
New Delhi, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : Mother Dairy has increased milk prices by ₹2 to ₹4 per liter, effective Thursday morning. This change has elicited mixed reactions from residents in New Delhi, many of whom express concern about the ongoing rise in living costs.
One local resident commented, “Everything is getting more expensive, so this increase isn’t surprising. A rise of ₹2 to ₹4 won’t make a significant difference as long as the quality remains good. Mother Dairy is known for its quality, so I don’t think it will impact the average person.”
Trust in the brand seems strong among consumers. They emphasize that while prices are rising, quality remains paramount. “Prices matter, but they need to be reasonable. There should be no adulteration in any product,” he added.
Another resident pointed out that higher milk prices could lead to increased costs for various other products that rely on milk as an ingredient. While he reiterated that the price increase itself may not be a major issue, he insisted on the importance of maintaining quality. “If prices go up but the quality drops, that would be a problem,” he warned.
A woman shared her perspective, noting that milk is a staple for families, especially for children. “We have no choice but to pay higher prices. Milk prices have been steadily increasing, and this affects everyone. It doesn’t seem to matter to political parties or the government; the burden falls on the public,” she stated.
Another local resident expressed frustration, recalling that Amul had already raised its prices, and now Mother Dairy has followed suit. “This time, the increase feels quite significant. Prices used to rise by ₹1 at a time, but now it’s jumped by ₹4 all at once,” he lamented.
He called for government intervention, suggesting that policies should be established to control milk prices, as it is a necessity for everyone from children to the elderly. “The government needs to take action to regulate these prices,” he urged.
An elderly man mentioned that he regularly purchases both token and packaged milk from Mother Dairy and noted the recent price hike for both. “This is putting a strain on the common man. It’s simply not right,” he concluded.
