Amul and Mother Dairy have increased their milk prices by 2 to 6 rupees per litre, effective 12 November, affecting consumers across India.
Amul and Mother Dairy, two of India’s largest dairy cooperatives, announced a price hike for their milk products effective 12 November. The increase ranges from 2 to 6 rupees per litre, depending on the product variant. The decision comes amid rising input costs and persistent inflation, prompting the companies to adjust retail prices to maintain margins.
The hike will affect both packaged milk and bulk sales, with consumers likely to see higher shelf prices at supermarkets and local dairy outlets. While the companies cited cost pressures, analysts suggest the move may also reflect a broader trend of price adjustments in the dairy sector.
Consumers have expressed concerns over affordability, especially in lower‑income households. Some retailers have indicated they may absorb a portion of the increase, but the overall impact on household budgets remains significant.
