Rising Dairy Prices Increase Costs of Festive Foods and Sweets Ahead of Diwali
Rising prices of dairy products like ghee, butter, and milk are increasing costs for consumers, sweet makers, and eateries ahead of the Diwali festival. Major brands such as Amul and Nandini have raised rates amid high demand and supply constraints. This has led to price hikes in festive foods and sweets in Bengaluru, with some businesses delaying increases to retain customers. Additionally, higher LPG costs and supply issues add to the overall expense of festive preparations.
