Mumbai Buffalo Milk Prices to Increase by Rs 9 per Litre Starting September 1
From September 1, buffalo milk prices in Mumbai will rise by Rs 9 per litre, increasing wholesale rates from Rs 93 to Rs 102 and retail prices to around Rs 110-112, with higher costs in South Mumbai. The Mumbai Milk Producers Association cited rising expenses for cattle feed, fodder, fuel, and labor as reasons. This increase may also raise prices of milk-based products like paneer and sweets. Mumbai consumes approximately 40-45 lakh litres of milk daily, with retail prices varying by area and supplier.
