Mother Dairy hikes milk prices by ₹2-4 per litre from Thursday

Mother Dairy has raised the retail prices of its liquid milk variants by ₹2-4 per litre across different product categories, the company confirmed on Wednesday. The increase takes effect from Thursday, November 12. In the NCR region, toned milk sold in bulk vended format will now retail at ₹60 per litre, up from ₹58 previously.

The price hike comes as procurement costs from dairy farmers have increased significantly, forcing the company to partially transmit these cost pressures to consumers. Mother Dairy typically passes on 75-80 per cent of its milk sales realisation to farmers, making farmer payments a substantial component of its operational expenses.

This is the second price adjustment by Mother Dairy in 2026. The company had previously raised prices on May 14, with an earlier revision in April 2025. A company spokesperson declined to provide further details on the latest price revision.

Mother Dairy supplies approximately 35 lakh litres daily across the Delhi-NCR market through its retail outlets, general trade channels, and e-commerce platforms. The company's total daily sales across all markets exceed 50 lakh litres, making it a key player in India's organised dairy sector.
