Verka Milk Prices Increased Across Punjab; New Rates Come Into Effect Today

Chandigarh, November 13, 2026:
Milk consumers across Punjab will have to pay more as the Punjab State Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation Limited (Milkfed) has revised the prices of several varieties of Verka milk, with the new rates coming into effect from Friday morning.
The price revision has affected full cream, standard, toned, double toned and cow milk categories. The decision is expected to increase household expenditure, particularly for families that depend on daily milk purchases.
Under the revised price list, a 500-ml pouch of full cream milk will now cost Rs 38 instead of Rs 36. Standard milk has increased from Rs 33 to Rs 35, while toned milk has gone up from Rs 30 to Rs 31. The price of cow milk has also increased from Rs 31 to Rs 33 for a 500-ml pouch.
In the one-litre category, full cream milk will now cost Rs 76 compared to Rs 72 earlier. Standard milk has been revised from Rs 65 to Rs 69, while toned milk will cost Rs 61.
This is the second price increase in less than a year, following a Rs 2 per litre hike in May.
The revised prices will apply to pouch milk sales across Punjab, adjoining areas and Delhi-NCR.
The development comes at a time when household budgets are already under pressure due to rising daily expenses. Consumers are likely to feel the impact of the revision, particularly those purchasing milk regularly for household consumption.
