GCMMF, Mother Dairy to increase milk and milk product prices by ₹2

The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), marketer of milk and milk products under the brand name of Amul and Mother Dairy have increased the prices of fresh pouch milk and liquid milk  by Rs 2 per litre in major milk selling variants/packs across India effective from Thursday, it said in a release. 

 

The increase of Rs 2 per litre translates to approx. 2.5-3.5 per cent per litre which it said is lower than average food inflation, GCMMF said in a statement and added that it has taken no price increase since May last year. 

 

“This price hike is being done due to increase in overall cost of operation and production of milk. There is a substantial increase in cost of Cattle feed, Milk Packaging film and fuel during the year. Our member unions have also increased farmer’s procurement price by Rs 30 per kg fat which is 3.7 per cent increase over May 2025,” GCMMF said in its release. 

   

This revision is only a partial pass through of increased costs and is aimed at maintaining a fair balance between farmer welfare and consumer interests, Mother Dairy's spokesperson said in its release. 

 

"It is pertinent to note that Mother Dairy passes on nearly 75 – 80 per cent of its milk sales realisation towards farmers and milk procurement, thereby supporting their livelihoods while ensuring consistent availability of quality milk for consumers," Mother Dairy said in its statement. 

 

Amul as a policy passes on almost 80 paise of every rupee paid by consumers for milk and milk products to the milk producers. “The price revision shall help in sustaining remunerative milk prices to our milk producers and to encourage them for higher milk production,” GCMMF added.
