In its official announcement, Amul stated that prices of various milk variants will be increased by Rs. 2 per litre starting tomorrow.
The hike will apply across key Amul milk variants, including Amul Standard Milk, Buffalo Milk, Gold, Slim & Trim, Tea Special, Taza, and Cow Milk. Now, the price of 500 ml of full cream buffalo milk will go up from Rs.36 to Rs.37, while the 1-litre pack will now cost Rs.73 instead of Rs.71.
Earlier, Mother Dairy had increased milk prices by ₹2 per litre from April 30, 2025, citing a sharp rise in procurement costs. Mother Dairy, which supplies about 3.5 million litres of milk daily in the Delhi-NCR region, attributed the hike to increased input costs and early onset of summer leading to heatwave conditions.
A company official noted that procurement costs have risen by Rs.4–5 per litre over the past few months. Mother Dairy said nearly 70–80% of its retail price goes directly to dairy farmers, justifying the price revision as necessary for sustainability amid rising costs.
In Delhi-NCR, Mother Dairy’s revised prices are as follows:
- Toned milk (bulk): Rs.56/litre (up from Rs.54)
- Full-cream (pouch): Rs.69/litre (up by Rs.1)
- Toned milk (pouch): Rs.57/litre (up by Rs.1)
- Double-toned milk: Rs.51/litre (up by Rs.2)
- Cow milk: Rs.59/litre (up from Rs.57)
For 500 ml packs, the new prices are:
- Full-cream: Rs.35
- Toned: Rs.29
- Double-toned: Rs.26
- Cow milk: Rs.30
