The price of Sanchi brand milk in Madhya Pradesh has risen by ₹4, reaching ₹74 per litre, as the dairy cites higher packaging and transport expenses.
Sanchi Dairy announced a uniform increase of ₹4 per litre for its milk sold across Madhya Pradesh, taking the retail price to ₹74 for a standard one‑litre pack. The company said the adjustment reflects rising costs in both packaging materials and logistics, which have squeezed profit margins.
The previous price of ₹70 per litre had been in effect for several months, and the hike is expected to affect households that rely on Sanchi milk as a daily staple. Retailers are instructed to apply the new rate from the start of the week, and the dairy has assured consumers that the quality of the product remains unchanged.
Industry analysts note that similar price pressures are being felt across the dairy sector nationwide, driven by higher fuel prices and the cost of plastic and paper used for cartons. While the increase is modest, consumer groups warn that cumulative rises in essential food items could strain low‑income families.
Sanchi Dairy has not disclosed the exact percentage rise in its input costs, but it emphasized that the move is necessary to sustain operations and maintain supply chain stability in the state.
