Mother Dairy hikes milk prices by Rs 2 per litre

Mother Dairy on Tuesday announced a Rs 2 per litre hike in milk prices across all operating markets, including Delhi-NCR, to partly offset rising input costs. The price increase is applicable for all variants of milk starting Wednesday (April 30), a company official said. "This price revision has been necessitated to address the significant increase in procurement costs, which have gone up by Rs 4-5 per litre over the past few months," the Mother Dairy official said.

An official said that the rise in procurement costs is mainly due to (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); the early arrival of summer and prevailing heatwave conditions.



Mother Dairy distributes approximately 35 lakh litre of milk daily across the Delhi-NCR region through its own outlets, general stores, and e-commerce platforms. "We remain committed to ensuring the consistent availability of quality milk to consumers while supporting the livelihoods of our farmers," he said. This revision represents only a partial pass-through of the increased costs, aiming to equitably serve the interests of both farmers and consumers, the official said.
