thebalanced.newsAmul and Mother Dairy Raise Milk Prices by Rs 2 Per Litre Across India from May 14
The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), marketing Amul products, announced a Rs 2 per litre milk price hike across major variants effective May 14, 2026. This is the first increase since May 2025 and reflects rising costs of cattle feed, packaging, and fuel. Member unions have also raised farmers' procurement prices by Rs 30 per kg of fat to support dairy producers. Similarly, Mother Dairy has increased milk prices by Rs 2 per litre in the Delhi-NCR region, citing higher procurement costs. These hikes are expected to impact household budgets amid ongoing inflationary pressures.
