Why did the prices rise?
The company further said that as the farm prices of raw milk have increased by 10-11 percent in this time. Similarly, fodder prices also saw an increase during this period due to heatwave. The heavy heat this time in the country has also affected the prices.
Mother Dairy said that only a partial part of the increase in farm price is being passed on to the customers, so that the interest of both the customers and the stakeholders can be protected.
Amul also increased the price
Significantly, the country’s largest dairy brand Amul (AMUL) has increased the prices of milk. Milk prices have been increased by Rs 2 per litre. Now people will have to pay more money for 500 ml of Amul milk. According to the new prices, customers will now have to pay Rs 31 for a 500 g pack of Amul Gold, Rs 25 for a 500 g pack of Amul Taza and Rs 28 for a 500 g pack of Amul Shakti.
