The rates of Amul milk across all variants has been increased by INR 2 per litre and will be effective from Monday (June 3). The GCMMF raised the milk price in February 2023. In order to compensate farmers for the increased cost of production, the hike is necessary, said Jayen Mehta, MD of GCMMF.
The revised milk prices for variants such as 500 ml Amul buffalo milk, 500 ml Amul Gold milk, and 500 ml Amul Shakti milk will be INR 36, INR 33, and INR 30, respectively.
"The increase of ₹2 per litre translates to a 3-4 percent increase in MRP, which is much lower than the average food inflation. It is worthwhile to note that since February 2023, Amul has made no increase in prices of fresh pouch milk in major markets," GCMMF said in a statement.

Due to the increase in the overall cost of operation and production of milk, the price hike is being implemented.
Likewise, Mother Dairy too announced an increase in the prices by INR 2 across India effective from June 3.
