GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 11th Nov: Amul milk prices are set to increase by ₹2 to ₹4 per litre across major fresh milk variants from November 12, the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) announced on Wednesday.

The price revision, ranging from approximately 4 to 5 per cent, will affect popular variants including Amul Taaza, Amul Gold, Amul Shakti and Amul Tea Special.

Under the revised rates, Amul Taaza, the brand’s toned milk variant, will become costlier by ₹2 per litre, taking its price to ₹62. Amul Gold, the full-cream milk variant, will see a ₹4 increase and will now cost ₹80 per litre.

Rising Input Costs Behind Price Revision
GCMMF attributed the increase to higher input costs across milk production, processing, packaging and transportation over the past year.

The federation cited rising prices of green and dry fodder, cattle feed ingredients such as oil cake, maize and molasses, packaging film and fuel. It also pointed to low and uneven rainfall in Gujarat and several other parts of the country, which has added pressure on the dairy sector.

The federation said the price revision was necessary to ensure better procurement prices for milk producers and support them amid difficult conditions.

Farmers to Receive a Major Share
Amul said its member unions had increased milk procurement prices paid to farmers by 4–5 per cent over the past year. The latest revision is expected to provide further support to producers.

According to GCMMF, around 80 per cent of the revenue generated through the Amul cooperative structure is returned to approximately 36 lakh milk producers. The federation said a major portion of the latest retail price increase would also go to farmers, encouraging them to sustain and increase milk production.

The announcement marks Amul’s first milk price increase since May 2026.

Mother Dairy Also Announces Price Hike
Amul’s announcement came hours after Mother Dairy announced a similar increase in milk prices, citing higher input costs. The developments indicate continued cost pressures across the dairy sector, with consumers facing higher prices for essential milk products.
