Amul Raises Ghee and Butter Prices Ahead of Diwali Citing Rising Costs
Amul has increased prices of its ghee and butter products ahead of Diwali, with a 1-kg ghee carton rising by Rs 50 to Rs 680 and a 500-gm butter pack by Rs 15 to Rs 325. The price hike is attributed to rising milk production costs and increased demand, especially following crackdowns on adulterated ghee in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The revision partially offsets earlier GST reductions. Amul, a cooperative owned by 36 lakh farmers, expects the new prices to be reflected in markets soon.
