Milk Prices Set To Climb Nationwide As Amul And Mother Dairy Implement Fresh Hikes

Consumers across India will face higher milk bills from November 12, as Amul and Mother Dairy introduce revised rates across their liquid milk categories.

The companies have announced increases ranging between ₹2 and ₹4 per litre, pointing to rising procurement and distribution expenses.

The Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which operates the Amul brand, confirmed that fresh pouch milk prices will rise by approximately 4–5 per cent across wide varieties and pack sizes.

Amul has raised the retail price of its best-selling Taaza toned milk by ₹2 per litre, while customers purchasing Amul Gold will pay an additional ₹4 per litre.

GCMMF stated that the revised rate represents a 3.3 per cent increase for Taaza, which contains 3 per cent milk fat. The Gold variant, with 6 per cent milk fat, has recorded a 5.5 per cent rise.

The latest adjustment marks the cooperative’s second milk price increase in 2026, following an earlier revision in May.

Mother Dairy has announced corresponding price revisions of ₹2–4 per litre across its liquid milk portfolio, beginning November 12.

The company highlighted the impact of irregular monsoon patterns on agricultural supplies, which have pushed green and dry fodder prices up by as much as 20 per cent.

Cattle feed rates have also increased by approximately 10 per cent over the past 12 months.

Additionally, the company reported that packaging, transportation and other operating expenses have risen by up to 25 per cent amid sustained inflationary pressures.

Both dairy manufacturers have linked their latest pricing decisions to the continuing rise in input costs, which has increased the financial pressure on milk producers and suppliers.
