New Delhi, Nov 11: Mother Dairy has announced an increase in milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre, with the revised rates set to come into effect from Thursday, November 12, 2026.
The price revision comes amid rising procurement costs, with sources indicating that the company has decided to pass on part of the increased input costs to consumers. Procurement prices paid to farmers have reportedly gone up, prompting the dairy major to revise its retail rates.
Mother Dairy, one of the largest milk suppliers in the Delhi-NCR region, had last increased its milk prices on May 14, 2026. Before that, the company had revised its rates in April 2025. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment on the latest price hike.
The company sells around 35 lakh litres of milk daily in the Delhi-NCR market through its own outlets, general trade and e-commerce platforms. Its overall daily milk sales exceed 50 lakh litres. Mother Dairy reportedly passes on 75 to 80 per cent of its milk sales realisation to farmers.
Under the revised rates, full cream milk will now cost Rs 76 per litre, up from Rs 72. The price of toned milk sold in pouches has been increased from Rs 60 to Rs 62 per litre, while bulk vended toned milk will cost Rs 60 per litre against the earlier Rs 58.
Similarly, double toned milk will now be priced at Rs 56 per litre, compared to Rs 54 earlier. The price of cow milk has also been raised from Rs 62 to Rs 65 per litre.
The revised prices will apply across the company's milk sales in the Delhi-NCR market from November 12.
