Karnataka Raises Nandini Milk Prices by Rs 8 Per Litre from November 1
Karnataka's government approved an Rs 8 per litre hike in Nandini milk prices effective November 1, with Rs 7 going to farmers and Re 1 to cooperatives. Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar defended the increase, citing rising input and transportation costs and the need to support dairy farmers amid drought and declining output. Opposition leaders criticized the move for burdening consumers. The price rise is expected to impact households and businesses, potentially increasing costs of tea, coffee, and milk-based products. Despite the hike, Karnataka's milk prices remain lower than in many other states.
