A big shock to the common people! Amul and Mother Dairy increase milk prices by Rs 6, know how much you have to pay now

Due to shortage in milk supply and increase in procurement costs, major dairy brands like Mother Dairy and Amul are going to hike milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 6 per liter from November 12. Due to this, consumers now have to pay higher prices for milk. According to industry sources, the price of different types of milk will increase differently. Toned milk will be expensive by Rs 2 per litre, full cream milk by Rs 4 per liter and full cream buffalo milk by Rs 6 per litre.

An increase of up to Rs.6

In the Delhi-NCR region, the price of toned milk available through bulk vending machines will increase from Rs 58 to Rs 60 per litre. The price of full cream packet milk will increase from Rs 72 to Rs 76 per litre, while the price of toned milk packet will increase from Rs 60 to Rs 62 per litre. The price of full cream buffalo milk with 6.5 percent fat will increase from Rs 80 to Rs 86 per litre. Mother Dairy will also increase the price of double toned milk from Rs 54 to Rs 56 per litre, while the price of cow’s milk will increase from Rs 62 to Rs 65 per litre.

Amul has increased the price of milk this much

Amul has announced a 4-5 percent hike in the prices of its main types of fresh pouch milk in India, effective from November 12, 2026. Amul Taza (toned milk) will cost Rs 2 per litre, while the price of Amul Gold (full-cream milk) will increase by Rs 4 per litre. GCMMFA attributed the increase to rising cost of animal feed, fodder, packaging materials and fuel. The federation said the price change would help improve payments to milk producers amid rising input costs.

Why is it increasing?

The increase is coming at a time when milk prices are generally stable during the ‘flush season’ (when milk production and availability is at its best). However, the current situation points to increasing supply problems in the dairy sector. Due to the shortage of milk, the price of ‘milk fat’ has also increased by about 20 to 25 per cent in the last few months, which has increased the total cost of dairy production.

Rising prices of animal feed have increased the financial burden on dairy farmers. Keeping this in mind, dairy companies have increased the purchase price of milk, so that farmers can produce more milk and milk can be stored better. Sources said that Amul has increased the purchase rate related to milk fat to Rs. 1,000 per kg, due to which farmers have to pay Rs. per liter for milk. More than 60 will get the price.

Milk production becomes expensive

This supply situation has also raised concerns about the productivity of dairy animals. The decline in milk availability has also affected the availability of milk fat, making it expensive for dairy companies to maintain supplies. When the availability of fresh milk is low, dairy companies usually use a mixture of milk powder and milk fat to prepare liquid milk. But the steep rise in fat prices has made this option too expensive, putting pressure on companies to raise prices for consumers.
