Mother Dairy increased milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre across multiple variants. The revised rates come into effect from Thursday, November 12.
Rising input costs and higher procurement prices paid to farmers prompted this price adjustment. The company decided to pass on part of these procurement costs to consumers.
In Delhi-NCR, bulk-sold toned milk now costs Rs 60 per litre. Pouched toned milk increased by Rs 2, bringing the new price to Rs 62 per litre.
Pouched full cream milk rose from Rs 72 to Rs 76 per litre. Double toned milk climbed to Rs 56 per litre from its earlier rate of Rs 54.
Cow milk prices also saw an increase of Rs 3 per litre. Consumers will now pay Rs 65 per litre for cow milk instead of Rs 62.
Mother Dairy last revised its milk prices on May 14, 2026. The company handles daily sales of over 35 lakh litres of milk in Delhi-NCR alone.
Across all markets, the dairy giant sells more than 50 lakh litres daily. The company passes approximately 75 to 80 percent of sales realizations to farmers.
The latest hike will increase daily household expenses across the region. Rising food inflation already places significant pressure on retail consumer budgets.
National Statistics Office data showed food inflation climbing to 7.74 percent in September. Retail inflation also rose to 5.54 percent during the same month.
Higher dairy rates threaten to compound existing budgetary strain for regular buyers. Overall economic impact will still depend on price trends in other food sectors.
Mother Dairy reported a turnover of Rs 20,300 crore during the last fiscal year. Strong demand for dairy products and cooking oils drove this 17 percent growth.
Established in 1974, Mother Dairy operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of NDDB. It processes milk across nine plants and manages four horticulture facilities.
