After Amul, Mother Dairy hikes milk prices by Rs 2/litre

Prices have been increased for all brands of its milk by Rs 2 per litre, which includes — bulk vended milk – Rs 44, Full cream – Rs 57 per litre, Toned Milk – Rs 47 per litre, double toned milk — Rs 41 per litre, Cow Milk – Rs 49 per litre, Super T-milk – Rs 26 per litre, Standardized milk – Rs 51 per litre.

Last time the Mother Dairy increased the prices of its products (milk) in December 2019.

A senior employee of Mother Dairy, who looks after packaging of milk products, said, “There has been a lot of buzz to increase prices of milk, but the decision was put on hold. When Amul already increased, it compelled Mother Dairy to increase prices to recover financial loss during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
He said the company has been experiencing inflationary pressure on the overall input costs which has increased multifold in the last one year.
“It is pertinent to note that the farm prices of milk alone have firmed up by about 4 per cent in the last three-four weeks. Despite paying higher prices towards milk procurement in the last one year, the consumer prices were kept intact. With this revision, the milk prices are undergoing a revision of 4 per cent,” Mother Dairy said.
