Amul and Mother Dairy have increased milk prices by Rs 2-4 per litre from Thursday, November 12, putting an additional burden on household budgets. The revised rates apply to fresh milk variants, with Amul announcing a 4-5 per cent increase across its major pouch milk packs in markets across India.
Your daily cup of tea could cost a little more as Amul is raising prices of its fresh milk variants by Rs 2-4 per litre from November 12, marking its first price hike since May 2026.
The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets milk under the Amul brand, said the price revision was necessary due to a sharp rise in milk production and processing costs.
Under the revised rates, Amul Taaza toned milk, which contains 3 per cent milk fat, will become costlier by Rs 2 per litre, taking its new price to Rs 62 per litre from Rs 60.
Amul Gold, which contains 6 per cent milk fat, will see a price hike of Rs 4 per litre, taking its new price to Rs 80 per litre from Rs 76.
Other variants affected by the revision include Amul Shakti and Amul Tea Special.

Why have Amul and Mother Dairy increased milk prices?The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) said the 4-5 per cent increase is driven by higher costs of fodder, cattle feed, packaging materials and fuel transportation.
The dairy cooperative also cited low and uneven rainfall in Gujarat and several other parts of the country, which has affected fodder availability.
GCMMF said its member unions had increased the procurement prices paid to farmers by 4-5 per cent over the past year. Amul said the revision would help it offer better procurement prices to farmers, with around 80 per cent of the revenue collected through its cooperative structure going back to its 36 lakh milk producers.
The hike comes hours after Mother Dairy announced a similar price increase, citing rising input costs.
This is the second milk price increase by the two dairy companies in less than six months. Amul and Mother Dairy had previously increased milk prices by Rs 2 per litre on May 14.
