Amul, Mother Dairy Milk Prices Hiked by ₹2–4 Per Litre from Today
Consumers across India will have to pay more for milk from November 12, 2026, as leading dairy brands Amul and Mother Dairy have increased prices by ₹2–4 per litre across their liquid milk variants. Both companies have attributed the latest revision to rising fodder, cattle feed, packaging and transportation costs. The price increase comes amid higher milk production and distribution expenses, putting additional pressure on dairy farmers and companies.
Amul Increases Taaza and Gold Milk Prices
The Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets dairy products under the Amul brand, has announced a 4–5% increase in fresh pouch milk prices across major variants and pack sizes nationwide.
Under the revised rates:
Amul Taaza: ₹2 per litre increase.
Amul Gold: ₹4 per litre increase.
GCMMF said the price of its largest-selling Amul Taaza toned milk, containing 3% milk fat, has increased by ₹2 per litre, representing a 3.3% hike. Amul Gold, containing 6% milk fat, has become costlier by ₹4 per litre, a 5.5% increase. This is the second milk price revision by Amul this year, following the previous increase announced in May.
Mother Dairy Also Raises Milk Prices
Mother Dairy has announced a similar ₹2–4 per litre increase across its liquid milk variants, effective November 12, 2026.
The company attributed the decision to higher fodder and cattle feed prices, along with rising packaging and transportation expenses.
According to Mother Dairy, uneven monsoon conditions in several parts of the country have affected fodder availability. As a result, green and dry fodder prices have increased by up to 20%, while cattle feed costs have risen by around 10% over the past year.
Packaging and Transportation Costs Rise by 25%
Mother Dairy also highlighted the impact of inflation on operational expenses. According to the company's spokesperson, packaging, transportation and other operational costs have increased by up to 25%, adding to the overall cost of milk production and distribution. The company said the sustained rise in input and operational expenses had necessitated the latest revision in consumer prices. The revised rates for both brands will apply from November 12. The exact new prices will vary depending on the milk variant and pack size.
