Mother Dairy has announced a fresh increase in milk prices, making several varieties costlier by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre. According to a PTI report, the revised rates will come into effect from Thursday.
The company, one of the largest milk suppliers in Delhi-NCR, last revised its milk prices on May 14, 2026, following an earlier increase in April 2025. The latest revision will affect consumers purchasing different varieties of Mother Dairy milk.
Why Has Mother Dairy Increased Milk Prices?
According to sources cited by PTI, the latest price revision is linked to an increase in the procurement cost of milk paid to farmers. The higher purchase costs have resulted in an adjustment in retail prices.
Farmers receive approximately 75–80 per cent of the revenue generated from milk sales. Although Mother Dairy’s spokesperson did not comment on the latest development, sources indicated that rising procurement expenses were behind the decision.
Mother Dairy’s New Milk Prices in Delhi-NCR
Following the revision, prices of several popular milk varieties have increased. The updated rates are as follows:
| Milk Variety | Old Price | New Price |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk Toned Milk | Rs 58/L | Rs 60/L |
| Full Cream Milk (Pouch) | Rs 72/L | Rs 76/L |
| Toned Milk (Pouch) | Rs 60/L | Rs 62/L |
| Double Toned Milk | Rs 54/L | Rs 56/L |
| Cow Milk | Rs 62/L | Rs 65/L |
The increase ranges from Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre, depending on the milk variety.
Mother Dairy’s Daily Milk Sales and Business Growth
Established in 1974, Mother Dairy is wholly owned by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). The company supplies approximately 3.5 million litres of milk every day across Delhi-NCR, while its total daily milk sales exceed 5 million litres.
During the previous financial year, the company recorded a 17 per cent rise in turnover, taking it to Rs 20,300 crore. Strong consumer demand for milk products and edible oils contributed to this growth.
Amul and Nandini Products Also Become Costlier
Mother Dairy is not the only dairy brand to have revised its prices. The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF), which sells products under the Amul brand, increased the price of ghee by Rs 50 per litre from November 2, citing higher input costs. The price of a 500-gram pack of table butter was also increased by Rs 15.
Earlier, the Bangalore Milk Union (BAMUL) announced revised retail prices for Nandini ghee, butter, paneer and Tripti milk, effective November 4. This followed a separate decision by the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) to increase Nandini milk prices by Rs 8 per litre and curd prices by Rs 14 per litre.
Under BAMUL’s revised price list, a 200 ml packet of Nandini ghee now carries an MRP of Rs 95. A 500 ml pack is priced at Rs 425, while the 1-litre pack costs Rs 850.
The revised prices for ghee sold in jars are Rs 65 for 50 ml, Rs 100 for 100 ml, Rs 180 for 200 ml, Rs 435 for 500 ml and Rs 870 for 1 litre. The 5-litre pack is available at Rs 4,250.
