Overview
- KMF increased Nandini ghee by ₹90 to ₹700 per litre/kg with the change taking effect on Wednesday.
- Butter retail price was raised to ₹570 per kg from ₹544.
- The federation says the move safeguards the ₹4-per-litre payment to milk producers and helps cover SMP-conversion losses and higher input and packaging costs.
- KMF procures about 1 crore litres of milk daily and sells roughly 2,500 tonnes of ghee each month, indicating wide consumer impact.
- The new price reverses a GST-driven drop to about ₹610 earlier this year, and officials note private brands charge more with peers such as Amul expected to adjust pricing.
