Karnataka Increases Milk Prices by Rs 8 Per Litre Effective November 1
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 cooperatives. The increase aims to support farmers facing drought and rising input costs, following protests and demands from dairy producers and cooperatives. Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and Minister Krishna Byre Gowda defended the decision, citing lower prices compared to neighboring states. Hotel associations warned the hike may raise prices of milk-based products and beverages, affecting consumers.
