Amul Increases Milk Prices by Rs 2 Per Litre Across India, New Rates Effective From May 14

Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, which sells dairy products under the Amul brand, has increased milk prices by Rs 2 per litre across India effective May 14.

The Amul milk price hike comes amid rising input and operational costs in the dairy sector. The increase is expected to impact food inflation and put additional pressure on the budgets of middle-class households.

The last Amul milk price increase was implemented on May 1, 2025.

GCMMF Explains Reason Behind Amul Milk Price Hike

In an official statement, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation said it has "increased the prices of fresh pouch milk by Rs 2 per litre in major milk selling variants/packs across India effective from May 14".

According to the cooperative, the latest increase translates to around 2.5 to 3.5 percent per litre, which it said remains lower than the average food inflation rate.

"The price hike is being done due to an increase in the overall cost of operation and production of milk. There is a substantial increase in the cost of cattle feed, milk packaging film and fuel during the year," GCMMF said.

The federation also stated that its member unions have increased farmers' milk procurement price by Rs 30 per kg of fat, marking a 3.7 percent increase over May 2025.

New Amul Milk Prices in Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh

Under the revised Amul milk price list for Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh, the rates for 500 ml packs have gone up across multiple variants.

The Slim N variant will now cost Rs 27, while Amul Taaza has been revised to Rs 30. Cow milk will now retail at Rs 31, and Amul Gold will cost Rs 36 for a 500 ml pack.

The price of buffalo milk has also been increased by Rs 4 per litre, taking the revised rate to Rs 80 per litre.

Amul Says Farmers Benefit From Milk Price Increase

Amul said that, as part of its policy, it passes on nearly 80 paise of every rupee paid by consumers for milk and milk products directly to milk producers.

According to GCMMF, the latest milk price revision will help maintain remunerative prices for dairy farmers and encourage higher milk production across the country.

Amul Brand Crosses Rs 1 Lakh Crore Milestone

The Amul brand recorded strong growth during the 2025-26 financial year, with total turnover rising 11 percent to cross the Rs 1 lakh crore milestone.

Meanwhile, the turnover of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation increased 11.4 percent to Rs 73,450 crore in the last fiscal, compared to Rs 65,911 crore in the previous financial year.

GCMMF Remains World’s Largest Farmer-Owned Dairy Cooperative

The federation markets Amul milk and dairy products in more than 50 countries. It collects nearly 31 million litres of milk every day and distributes over 24 billion packs of Amul products annually.
