Mother Dairy raises milk prices by up to Rs 4 per litre in Delhi-NCR

New Delhi, Nov 11 (UNI) Mother Dairy has announced a price increase of Rs 2-4 per litre across its liquid milk variants in the Delhi-NCR region, effective November 12. The revision is expected to increase the monthly household expenditure of consumers, with full cream milk witnessing the steepest hike of Rs 4 per litre. The company has attributed the price increase to higher procurement costs, following a rise in the rates paid to dairy farmers.
The revised prices will apply across Mother Dairy's milk portfolio, including full cream, toned, double toned and cow milk. The company, which is among the largest suppliers of milk in Delhi-NCR, last increased its liquid milk prices on May 14, 2026. Sources said the latest revision is aimed at passing on a portion of the higher procurement costs to consumers, while the company transfers around 75-80% of its milk sales realisation to farmers.
Under the revised price structure, full cream milk in pouches will now cost Rs 76 per litre, up from Rs 72. Toned milk (bulk vended) will be available at Rs 60 per litre against Rs 58 earlier, while pouched toned milk will cost Rs 62, compared with Rs 60 previously. Double toned milk prices have been raised from Rs 54 to Rs 56 per litre. Meanwhile, cow milk will become costlier by Rs 3 per litre, with its price increasing from Rs 62 to Rs 65.
Mother Dairy sells approximately 35 lakh litres of milk every day in the Delhi-NCR market through its retail outlets, general trade network and e-commerce platforms. Its total daily milk sales across markets exceed 50 lakh litres. The company reported a 17% increase in turnover to Rs 20,300 crore in the previous financial year, supported by demand for its milk products and cooking oils.
Established in 1974, Mother Dairy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Apart from milk and dairy products, it operates in the edible oil segment under the Dhara brand and sells fresh fruits, vegetables, frozen food products, snacks and processed food items under Safal.
The latest price revision by Mother Dairy comes days after Karnataka's Nandini brand implemented a milk price increase from November 1. The Karnataka Cabinet had approved an Rs 8 per litre increase in the base price, citing the financial difficulties faced by dairy farmers amid severe drought conditions in the state.
Karnataka Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Krishna Byre Gowda had said the revised prices remained within the range charged in several other states. He also pointed to rising input costs for farmers and a decline of around 10 lakh litres in the state's daily milk supply due to drought conditions.
Cooperation Minister Laxman Savadi had also highlighted the risk of dairy farmers diverting their milk supplies to neighbouring states if they did not receive better prices, potentially creating supply constraints within Karnataka. Under the revised pricing arrangement, Rs 7 of the Rs 8 per litre increase was earmarked for dairy farmers, while the remaining Re 1 was allocated to milk unions.UNI VK AAB
