Karnataka Cabinet Approves Rs 8 Per Litre Increase in Nandini Milk Prices
The Karnataka Cabinet has approved an Rs 8 per litre increase in Nandini milk prices, pending Election Commission approval due to the Model Code of Conduct for upcoming Legislative Council elections. The hike, likely effective from November 1, would be the fifth in recent years, raising the price of basic toned milk from Rs 46 to Rs 54 per litre if fully implemented. Milk unions cited rising costs of cattle feed, transportation, and packaging as reasons for the increase, while the government balances farmer concerns with consumer impact.
