Following Mother Dairy, Amul Milk has also increased its milk prices. The price of Amul milk has been increased by ₹2 and ₹4, respectively. These new rates will be effective from November 12th.
The Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets milk and milk-based products under the Amul brand, announced on Wednesday that it will increase the prices of its fresh milk variants across the country.
The revised prices will come into effect from November 12, with rates going up by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre, depending on the variant.
"The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) has announced a price hike of approximately 4 per cent to 5 per cent across major variants of Amul fresh pouch milk nationwide, effective November 12," the company said in a statement.
Why Has Amul Increased Milk Prices?
Amul said the price revision was necessitated by a sharp rise in input costs associated with milk production, processing, packaging and transportation over the past year.
The company cited higher costs of green and dry fodder, cattle feed ingredients such as oil cake, maize and molasses, milk packaging film and fuel.
"In the current challenging environmental circumstances due to low and uneven rainfall in Gujarat as well as many parts of India, we are constrained to increase the consumer price of milk to pay better prices to our producers and support them in these difficult times," it said.
Amul added that its member unions had raised the procurement prices paid to farmers by 4-5 per cent over the past year. A similar revision in consumer prices would provide further support to milk producers.
The federation also said that 80 per cent of the revenue collected from consumers through the Amul co-operative structure is returned to 36 lakh milk producers.
According to the company, a major share of the increase in retail milk prices will be passed on to farmers, encouraging them to continue increasing milk production.
What Will Be The New Prices Of Amul Milk?
The price revision covers major fresh milk variants, including Amul Taaza, Amul Gold, Amul Shakti and Amul Tea Special.
Amul Taaza, the brand's toned milk variant, will become costlier by Rs 2 per litre, taking its price to Rs 62 per litre. Amul Gold, its full-cream milk variant, will see a Rs 4 per litre increase and will now cost Rs 80 per litre.
The latest revision marks Amul's first milk price hike since May 2026.
Amul Follows Mother Dairy's Price Hike
Amul's announcement came hours after Mother Dairy, which has a significant presence in the Delhi market, announced a similar increase in milk prices, citing rising input costs.
