Amul Milk Prices Set to Rise from November 12
New Delhi, November 11: Amul has announced a price hike for its milk products, affecting consumers as they prepare for the festive season. Starting November 12, the prices of various categories of milk will increase by 2 to 6 rupees per liter. The increase comes as both Amul and Mother Dairy face rising costs due to a decrease in milk supply and higher prices for animal feed.
Which Milk Prices Are Increasing?
Amul has raised the prices of different categories of milk, with the most significant increase seen in full cream buffalo milk, which contains 6.5% fat. The price of full cream buffalo milk will rise from 80 rupees to 86 rupees per liter. Additionally, toned milk will see an increase of 2 rupees, while full cream milk will rise by 4 rupees per liter.
Mother Dairy Also Increases Milk Prices
Alongside Amul, Mother Dairy has also announced a price increase for its milk products, effective from November 12. The new prices in the Delhi-NCR region will be as follows:
Toned milk (bulk vending machine): Increased from 58 rupees to 60 rupees per liter.
Full cream packet milk: Increased from 72 rupees to 76 rupees per liter.
Packet toned milk: Increased from 60 rupees to 62 rupees per liter.
Double toned milk: Increased from 54 rupees to 56 rupees per liter.
Cow milk: Increased from 62 rupees to 65 rupees per liter.
Mother Dairy is one of the major suppliers of milk in the Delhi-NCR region, selling over 5 million liters daily across various markets.
Reasons Behind the Price Hike
Typically, milk production increases during the winter months, leading to better supply in the market. However, this year, the dairy sector is experiencing pressure regarding milk availability. Reports indicate that the prices for milk fat have risen by approximately 20 to 25% in recent months, increasing costs for dairy companies. Additionally, the prices of animal feed have also gone up, adding to the financial burden on farmers. Consequently, dairy companies are paying more to farmers for milk to maintain production and supply levels.
