Mother Dairy raises milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 4 a litre from November 12

Mother Dairy is raising milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 4 a litre from Thursday, November 12. The company had earlier raised milk prices in Delhi-NCR by Rs 2 a litre on May 14, 2026, making this the second increase in a few months.

The company said the cost of buying milk from farmers has gone up and that part of this higher cost now has to be passed on to customers. Mother Dairy gives 75 to 80 per cent of its total earnings from milk sales directly to milk-producing farmers.

In the NCR, loose (bulk vended) toned milk has risen from Rs 58 to Rs 60 a litre. Packet full cream milk will now cost Rs 76 a litre instead of Rs 72, the biggest rise at Rs 4.

Packet toned milk has gone up from Rs 60 to Rs 62 a litre. Double toned milk, earlier Rs 54 a litre, will now be Rs 56 a litre. Cow milk has risen from Rs 62 to Rs 65 a litre, an increase of Rs 3.

In summary, full cream milk in pouches has gone from Rs 72 to Rs 76, a rise of Rs 4. Cow milk has gone from Rs 62 to Rs 65, a rise of Rs 3. Pouch toned milk has gone from Rs 60 to Rs 62, loose toned milk from Rs 58 to Rs 60 and double toned milk from Rs 54 to Rs 56, a rise of Rs 2 each. All prices are per litre.

Amul last raised its milk prices by Rs 2 a litre on May 14, 2026. Just before Diwali, it also raised its ghee prices, and the price of a 500-gram pack of table butter was increased by Rs 15. Like Mother Dairy, Amul has cited rising milk production costs and higher costs of buying milk from farmers as the reason for the increases.
