Karnataka Cabinet Approves Rs 8 Per Litre Nandini Milk Price Hike Pending Election Approval
The Karnataka Cabinet has approved a proposal to raise Nandini milk prices by Rs 8 per litre, with the final hike likely to be implemented after the Legislative Council elections and pending Election Commission approval. This would be the fifth price increase in recent years, driven by rising costs of cattle feed, transportation, and drought-related fodder shortages. The Cabinet has authorized Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to decide the final hike amount. The decision aims to support dairy farmers amid ongoing drought conditions, while balancing consumer impact.
