Consumers across India will pay more for milk from November 12, 2026, as Amul and Mother Dairy have announced price increases of ₹2–4 per litre across their liquid milk variants. Both dairy companies cited rising production and operational expenses behind the revision.
Higher costs of fodder, cattle feed, packaging and transportation have increased the financial burden on dairy producers and distributors, prompting the latest price adjustment.
he Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets dairy products under the Amul brand, announced a 4–5% increase in fresh pouch milk prices across major variants and pack sizes nationwide.
Under the revised prices:
- Amul Taaza toned milk: Increased by ₹2 per litre.
- Amul Gold milk: Increased by ₹4 per litre.
GCMMF said the increase for Amul Taaza, which contains 3% milk fat, represents a 3.3% rise. Amul Gold, with 6% milk fat, has seen a 5.5% increase.
This is Amul’s second milk price revision in 2026, following an earlier increase in May.
Mother Dairy has also announced an increase of ₹2–4 per litre across its liquid milk range, effective November 12, 2026.
The company attributed the decision to higher agricultural and operational costs. Uneven monsoon conditions have affected fodder availability in several regions, pushing green and dry fodder prices up by as much as 20%.
Cattle feed costs have also increased by around 10% over the past year, adding to milk production expenses for dairy farmers.
Mother Dairy further reported that packaging, transportation and other operational costs have risen by up to 25% amid persistent inflationary pressures.
