Overview
- The Karnataka Milk Federation raised Nandini ghee by Rs 90 to Rs 700 per litre with the revision taking effect on Wednesday.
- Officials said the move aligns rates with international markets after GST changes earlier pulled the retail price down to Rs 610 from about Rs 640–650.
- KMF reported the increase will help cover higher procurement costs and losses from converting surplus milk to skimmed milk powder.
- The federation procures roughly 1 crore litres of milk daily and also supplies product to the Ksheera Bhagya school milk programme.
- An official said Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams agreed to pay Rs 716 per litre for KMF ghee, while a district union leader stated no proposal has been filed to raise retail milk prices.
