Amul, operated by the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, announces a Rs 2 per litre price hike on milk variants, effective May 1, 2025, following a similar move by Mother Dairy.
Amul, operated by the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), announced a Rs 2 per litre increase on various milk variants across regions including Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Uttarakhand. This price hike affects popular products like Amul Standard, Amul Buffalo Milk, Amul Gold, Amul Slim and Trim, Amul Chai Mazza, Amul Taaza, and Amul Cow Milk.
The price of full cream milk will rise to Rs 67 per litre from Rs 65, while bulk-vended (toned) milk will see a price adjustment from Rs 53 to Rs 55 per litre.
This increase follows a similar price hike by Mother Dairy due to rising procurement costs driven by the early onset of summer and extreme heatwave conditions affecting milk production. Both companies, major players in the Indian dairy industry, have had to adjust their prices in response to these challenges.
Amul’s decision is expected to have an impact on consumers in the affected regions, though the company has assured that this price hike is necessary to maintain the sustainability of their operations amid rising costs. The move also reflects the broader trend in the dairy sector, where price adjustments have been increasingly common in response to supply chain and environmental factors.
