Maharashtra to Raise Milk Prices by Rs 2 Per Litre from August 11
Milk prices in Maharashtra will increase by Rs 2 per litre for both cow and buffalo milk starting August 11. This decision was made by major cooperative and private dairies during a Milk Producers and Processors Welfare Association meeting chaired by president Gopalrao Mhaske. The price hike responds to rising diesel costs, which have increased by Rs 10 per litre, and packaging expenses, up about 30 percent. Dairy product prices will also rise by up to 10 percent.
