Mother Dairy, one of the largest milk suppliers in Delhi-NCR, has announced a price hike of ₹2–4 per litre across its milk products. The revised prices will come into effect from Thursday, November 12, adding to household expenses for consumers across the region. The company has cited rising milk procurement costs as the primary reason behind the increase.
New Prices Effective November 12
According to the announcement, consumers will have to pay higher prices for milk following the revision. The increase ranges between ₹2 and ₹4 per litre, depending on the milk variant. The revised rates will apply from November 12. Consumers purchasing Mother Dairy milk will have to account for the additional cost from Thursday onwards.
Rising Procurement Costs Behind Hike
The price revision comes amid increasing procurement costs, which have put pressure on the dairy company's operations. Milk procurement expenses play a significant role in determining retail prices, as dairy companies source milk from farmers and suppliers to meet daily demand. Mother Dairy has adjusted its retail prices in response to the rising input costs.
Impact on Consumers
The latest hike is likely to affect regular milk consumers across Delhi-NCR, particularly households that purchase milk daily. With prices increasing by up to ₹4 per litre, families may see a rise in their monthly grocery expenses. The revised rates will come into force on November 12, making the price increase applicable from Thursday.
