Mother Dairy has hiked milk prices by up to ₹2 per litre effective Wednesday (April 30, 2025) to partly offset rising input costs.

The price revision will be effective from April 30, 2025 across its market, a company official said on Tuesday.

“This price revision has been necessitated to address the significant increase in procurement costs, which have gone up by ₹4-5 per litre over the past few months,” the Mother Dairy official said.

The surge in procurement prices is primarily driven by early onset of summer and heatwave conditions, the official said.

Mother Dairy sells around 35 lakh litre of milk per day in the Delhi-NCR market through its own outlets, general trade and e-commerce platforms.

“We remain committed to ensuring the consistent availability of quality milk to consumers while supporting the livelihoods of our farmers,” he said.

This revision represents only a partial pass-through of the increased costs, aiming to equitably serve the interests of both farmers and consumers, the official said.

The prices of toned milk (bulk vended) has been increased to ₹56 per litre from ₹54 per litre in Delhi-NCR.

Full cream milk (pouched) will cost ₹69 per litre as against ₹68 per litre.

The rate of toned milk (pouched) has been increased to ₹57 from ₹56 per litre, while double toned milk will cost ₹51 as against ₹49 per litre.

The prices of cow milk has been increased to ₹59 per litre from ₹57 per litre.
