Amul Raises Ghee and Butter Prices Ahead of Diwali Amid Rising Demand
Amul has increased prices of its ghee and butter products ahead of the Diwali festival, with a 1-kg ghee carton rising by Rs 50 to Rs 680 and a 500-gm butter pack increasing by Rs 15 to Rs 325. The price hike is attributed to rising demand, supply shortages—especially of cow ghee—and higher milk production costs. This increase partially offsets earlier consumer benefits from a GST reduction on dairy products. Various pack sizes of ghee and butter have seen price adjustments across India.
