Karnataka Cabinet Approves Rs 8 Per Litre Hike in Nandini Milk Prices
The Karnataka Cabinet approved an Rs 8 per litre hike in Nandini milk prices effective November 1, with Rs 7 allocated to farmers and Re 1 to milk cooperatives. This decision follows protests by milk producers and demands from various political parties amid drought and rising input costs. Farmers will receive Rs 42 per litre plus a Rs 5 government incentive. The price increase may lead to higher costs for consumers, including hotels warning of increased prices for milk-based products.
