Amul has announced a milk price increase of ₹2-4 per litre, with the hike taking effect from November 12. The adjustment affects the cooperative's entire milk range, reflecting the mounting pressure on operational expenses faced by the dairy sector.
The price revision comes as input costs for milk production and processing have risen sharply. These include expenses related to animal feed, transportation, energy, and processing infrastructure, which have collectively pushed margins for dairy producers and processors into challenging territory.
Amul, which operates as a farmer-producer cooperative and supplies milk across multiple states, supplies dairy products to millions of Indian households daily. The cooperative periodically revises prices to reflect market conditions and ensure sustainability of operations across its network of dairy farmers and processing units.
The move is likely to add to inflationary pressures on dairy products, a staple in Indian diets. Consumers across Amul's operational regions should expect the new pricing at retail points from the effective date onwards.
