Dairy product major Mother Dairy on Wednesday increased milk prices by Rs 2 per litre across key variants with effect from May 14, PTI reported.Separately, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets products under the Amul brand, also raised milk prices by Rs 2 per litre across India.The latest back-to-back price revisions by two of India’s largest dairy brands come amid rising costs of cattle feed, fuel, packaging material and procurement from farmers.Amul had said the increase was necessary due to a “substantial increase” in the cost of cattle feed, milk packaging film and fuel. The cooperative had also stated that its member unions raised farmers’ procurement prices by Rs 30 per kg of fat, marking a 3.7 per cent increase over May 2025 levels.The Amul hike, effective from May 14, translated into an increase of around 2.5-3.5 per cent per litre across major fresh pouch milk variants.The previous milk price increase by Amul was implemented on May 1, 2025.
