New Delhi, Consumers will have to pay more for milk from Thursday as leading dairy brands Amul and Mother Dairy announced a price increase of Rs 2-4 per litre across their liquid milk variants, citing a rise in input and operational costs.
Both companies attributed the revision to increasing expenses related to fodder, cattle feed, packaging and transportation, which have added to the overall cost of milk production and distribution.
In a statement, the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets dairy products under the Amul brand, announced a 4-5 per cent increase in the prices of fresh pouch milk across major variants and pack sizes nationwide.
According to the co-operative, the price of its largest-selling Amul Taaza toned milk has been increased by Rs 2 per litre, while Amul Gold milk will now cost Rs 4 more per litre.
This marks the second revision in Amul's milk prices this year, following the previous hike announced in May.
Explaining the latest increase, GCMMF said, "The price of our largest-selling Amul Taaza toned milk with 3 per cent milk fat has been increased by only Rs 2 per litre (3.3 per cent increase) and Amul Gold Milk with 6 per cent milk fat by Rs 4 per litre (5.5 per cent rise)."
