The Karnataka government has announced an increase of Rs 8 per litre in the price of milk, a move aimed at supporting dairy farmers amid rising production costs.
The Karnataka government today announced that the price of milk will be increased by Rs 8 per litre, effective from the next billing cycle.
Under the new scheme, the retail price of milk will rise from Rs 35 to Rs 43 per litre, a change that will be reflected in all state‑run milk shops and cooperative outlets.
The decision follows a review of rising feed and transportation costs, and is part of a broader strategy to ensure fair returns for dairy farmers across the state.
The move is expected to boost the income of small and medium‑sized dairy units, while the government will monitor the impact on consumers and adjust the policy if necessary.
