In a move that may impact household budgets, Mother Dairy has announced an increase in the prices of its fresh pouch milk by Rs 2 per litre across all variants, effective June 3. This adjustment comes as the dairy giant faces rising input costs, including procurement, packaging, and transportation.
Mother Dairy, a leading supplier of milk and milk products in India, stated that the price hike is necessary to ensure the sustainability of operations and to continue delivering quality products to consumers. The company highlighted the increasing costs of animal feed, fodder, and logistics as primary reasons for the price revision.
The new pricing structure will see the cost of full-cream milk rise to Rs 64 per litre, toned milk to Rs 52 per litre, and double-toned milk to Rs 46 per litre in the Delhi-NCR region. These prices may vary slightly in other regions depending on local factors.
Consumers have expressed mixed reactions to the price hike, with some understanding the need for adjustments due to inflationary pressures, while others are concerned about the impact on their monthly expenses. Mother Dairy has assured its customers that it remains committed to providing high-quality milk and dairy products despite the challenging economic conditions.
This price increase follows similar moves by other major dairy companies in recent months, reflecting broader trends in the dairy industry. As households adjust to the new prices, the company continues to monitor the market closely, aiming to balance affordability and quality.
