After Mother Dairy, Amul increases milk prices by 2 to 4 rupees per liter today

In a significant development for consumers across the country, Amul has announced a hike in milk prices, following a similar move by Mother Dairy. The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) has officially confirmed that the prices of Amul fresh packaged milk have been increased by approximately 4 to 5 percent. These new rates are set to come into effect across all major markets in the country starting from November 12, 2026.

Details of the Price Revision

3 percent. 5 percent.

Reasons Behind the Price Hike

The GCMMF has clarified that the primary reason for this price revision is the continuous rise in production and processing costs. Over the past year, there has been a significant increase in the prices of raw materials used for cattle feed, such as green and dry fodder, oil cakes, maize, and molasses. On top of that, the costs associated with packaging film and fuel have also witnessed a substantial rise. The company noted that due to deficient and uneven rainfall in Gujarat and several other parts of the country, cattle rearers are facing significant challenges, making it essential to provide better prices to milk-producing farmers.

Benefits for Dairy Farmers

Amul stated that the objective behind this price revision is to ensure better remuneration for dairy farmers. Over the last year, member milk unions have already increased the procurement prices paid to farmers by 4 to 5 percent. Under Amul's cooperative structure, approximately 80 percent of the revenue generated from consumers is returned to the 36 lakh milk producers across the country. A major portion of the revenue from this retail price hike will also reach the farmers, providing them with the necessary financial support and encouragement to increase milk production.
