One of India’s leading milk suppliers, Mother Dairy has decided to hike milk prices by Re 1 each for both half and one litre pouch. The company has however not raised the prices of token milk (bulk-vended milk) and cow milk.

The hike in price came after 24 months.

Currently, Mother Dairy supplies around one lakh litre of milk in Delhi NCR region. Recently company released an official statement which stated that company has raises its milk prices in Delhi NCR for key polypack milk variants by Re 1 with effect from July 16, 2016.

As per the new rates, full cream milk will be available at Rs 49 per litre, while toned milk at Rs 39 and double-toned at Rs 35 per litre. For a half litre pack, the price of full-cream milk has been increased to Rs 25 from Rs 24, while the rate of toned milk has been raised to Rs 20 from Rs 19 and double-toned milk to Rs 18 from Rs 17.

It is important to note that the company has increased its farm prices by about 7-8 per cent in last one year while the effective consumer price hike is not more than 3 per cent, company’s statement states further.
