Mother Dairy Hikes Milk Prices by Up to ₹4 Per Litre from November 12

Milk prices are set to rise once again, adding to the financial burden on consumers. After dairy companies such as Nandini and Amul revised their prices, Mother Dairy has also announced an increase of ₹2 to ₹4 per litre in Delhi-NCR and several other regions. The revised prices will come into effect on Thursday, November 12. The increase applies to full cream, toned, double-toned and cow milk varieties.

Mother Dairy said the decision was driven by an increase in milk procurement prices paid to farmers and rising input costs. The company stated that it passes on around 75–80% of its revenue from milk sales directly to farmers. This is the company's first reported price revision since May 14, 2026, after a gap of nearly six months. The increase comes amid rising food inflation and household expenses. According to the figures cited in the report, food inflation rose from 5.97% in August to 7.74% in September, while retail inflation reached 5.54% in September. Established in 1974 under the National Dairy Development Board, Mother Dairy sells around 3.5 million litres of milk daily in the Delhi-NCR market and more than five million litres nationwide. The company also operates under brands such as Dhara and Safal.
