Overview

• Mother Dairy raised milk prices by ₹2 per litre across all variants, effective April 30, 2025, marking its second increase since June 2024.
• Amul announced a similar ₹2 per litre price hike for its milk products, effective May 1, 2025, reflecting a coordinated industry response.
• Both companies attribute the price hikes to a ₹4–5 per litre surge in procurement costs caused by early summer heatwaves impacting milk production.
• The price adjustments represent a partial pass-through of costs, balancing consumer affordability with farmer support and supply consistency.
• Mother Dairy sells approximately 35 lakh litres of milk daily in the Delhi-NCR region, while Amul's price changes impact markets nationwide.
