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



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.
