Amul Milk Price Hike | Hyderabad, Nov. 12: Amul has announced a 4 to 5 per cent increase in fresh milk prices across India from November 12, 2026. The move follows Mother Dairy’s recent decision to raise milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre.
The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which owns Amul, cited rising production and processing costs. Higher fodder prices, cattle feed expenses and fuel costs have contributed to the increase.
Amul last revised retail milk prices in May this year.
Amul Milk Price Hike | Amul Taaza and Gold Milk Prices Revised
In a statement issued on Wednesday, November 11, Amul announced a Rs 2 per litre increase for its largest-selling Amul Taaza toned milk. The price revision represents a 3.3 per cent hike.
Amul Gold milk, which contains 6 per cent milk fat, will cost Rs 4 more per litre. This amounts to a 5.5 per cent increase.
The cooperative attributed the decision to low and uneven rainfall in Gujarat and other parts of India. It said the revision would help provide better prices to milk producers during difficult conditions.
Meanwhile, Mother Dairy has also revised prices across its liquid milk variants from November 12.
The company said uneven monsoon conditions had affected fodder availability. Green and dry fodder prices increased by up to 20 per cent, while cattle feed costs rose by around 10 per cent over the past year.
It also cited increases of up to 25 per cent in packaging, transportation and other operational expenses.
In Delhi-NCR, Mother Dairy’s toned milk in bulk vending will now cost Rs 60 per litre, up from Rs 58. Full cream pouched milk will increase from Rs 72 to Rs 76 per litre.
Pouched toned milk will cost Rs 62 instead of Rs 60. Double toned milk prices will rise from Rs 54 to Rs 56 per litre.
Mother Dairy sells around 35 lakh litres of milk daily in Delhi-NCR. Its total daily sales exceed 50 lakh litres through retail outlets, general trade and online platforms.
Cow milk prices have also increased from Rs 62 to Rs 65 per litre. Last month, Karnataka’s dairy brand Nandini revised prices of its products.
According to the National Statistics Office, food inflation rose to 7.74 per cent in September from 5.97 per cent in August.
The latest milk price increases are expected to add pressure on household budgets and could contribute to food inflation.
