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.
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.
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.
