Mother Dairy Hikes Milk Prices By Up To Rs 2 Per Litre In Delhi-NCR

Mother Dairy on Tuesday increased milk prices by up to Rs 2 per liter, effective April 30, to offset rising input costs.

The price hike is attributed to a significant surge in procurement costs, which have risen by Rs 4-5 per liter over the past few months due to the early onset of summer and heatwave conditions, according to an official.

The company sells around 35 lakh liters of milk daily in the Delhi-NCR region through its own outlets, general trade and e-commerce platforms.

"We remain committed to ensuring the consistent availability of quality milk to consumers while supporting the livelihoods of our farmers," the official said.

This revision represents only a partial pass-through of the increased costs, aiming to equitably serve the interests of both farmers and consumers, he said.

The prices of toned milk (bulk vended) has been increased to Rs 56 per litre from Rs 54 per litre in Delhi-NCR.

Full cream milk (pouched) will cost Rs 69 per litre as against Rs 68 per litre.

The rate of toned milk (pouched) has been increased to Rs 57 from Rs 56 per litre, while double toned milk will cost Rs 51 as against Rs 49 per litre.

The prices of cow milk has been increased to Rs 59 per litre from Rs 57 per litre.
