Price Increases in Dairy, Consumer Goods, and Restaurant Menus Impact India
Several everyday products and restaurant menu items in India have become costlier due to recent price hikes. Dairy companies like Amul, Mother Dairy, and Nandini raised milk and ghee prices in November, citing higher procurement and production costs. Consumer goods firms such as HUL and ITC also increased prices of detergents and cigarettes. Rising input costs, including fuel and dairy, have led restaurants to raise menu prices by 5-10%, affecting items like coffee, dosas, and meals across various regions.
