Amul hikes milk prices by Rs 2/litre

With the fresh hike, the revised milk prices for variants such as 500 ml Amul buffalo milk, 500 ml Amul Gold milk, and 500 ml Amul Shakti milk stand at Rs 36, Rs 33, and Rs 30, respectively.

“The hike is being done due to the rise in overall cost of operation and production of milk. Our member unions have also increased farmers’ prices approximately by 6-8 per cent over the past year,” the statement said, adding, “The price revision will help in sustaining remunerative milk prices to our milk producers and to encourage them for higher milk production.”
