Milk Prices Surge: Amul and Mother Dairy Raise Rates Amid Rising Costs

In a recent announcement, leading dairy brands Amul and Mother Dairy have increased milk prices by Rs2-4 per litre, effective Thursday. This decision is attributed to rising input costs, including higher procurement rates for farmers and fuel expenses. The price adjustments are expected to impact household budgets and contribute to food inflation. Amul's popular products, such as Amul Taaza and Amul Gold Milk, will see specific increases, while Mother Dairy also revises its liquid milk prices. This change marks the first price adjustment since May and follows similar moves by other regional dairy brands.

Price Increase Announcement

New Delhi: Major dairy brands, including Amul and Mother Dairy, have announced an increase in milk prices by Rs2-4 per litre, starting Thursday. This decision comes in response to rising input costs, which include higher procurement rates for farmers and escalating fuel prices.

The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) and Mother Dairy, two of the largest milk suppliers, last adjusted their retail prices in May. Recently, Karnataka's well-known dairy brand, Nandini, also raised its product prices.

This hike in milk prices is expected to impact household budgets significantly and could contribute to an increase in food inflation.

In a statement released on Wednesday, GCMMF, which markets milk under the Amul brand, confirmed the price increase of Rs2-4 per litre, effective Thursday.

The cooperative has raised the prices of fresh pouch milk by 4-5% across its major selling variants and packs throughout India, effective November 12, 2026.

According to GCMMF, the price of its best-selling Amul Taaza toned milk, which contains 3% milk fat, has been raised by Rs2 per litre (a 3.3% increase), while Amul Gold Milk, with 6% milk fat, will see a rise of Rs4 per litre (5.5% increase).

Mother Dairy, the leading milk supplier in the Delhi-NCR region, has also adjusted the prices of its liquid milk variants by Rs2-4 per litre, effective November 12.
