Delhi/Alive News: Milk prices in Delhi-NCR are set to increase by ₹2 to ₹6 per litre from Thursday, November 12, as Mother Dairy and Amul revise rates amid rising procurement costs. The price hike will vary across different milk categories.
According to industry sources, toned milk will become costlier by ₹2 per litre, full cream milk by ₹4 and full cream buffalo milk by ₹6. In Delhi-NCR, toned milk sold through bulk vending machines will cost ₹60 per litre, up from ₹58. Packaged toned milk will increase from ₹60 to ₹62, while full cream packaged milk will rise from ₹72 to ₹76 per litre. Buffalo full cream milk (6.5% fat) will cost ₹86 instead of ₹80 per litre.
Mother Dairy said the revision in consumer prices of its liquid milk variants ranges from ₹2 to ₹4 per litre. The revised rates will take effect on November 12.
The company attributed the increase to higher milk procurement prices paid to farmers. Mother Dairy passes on around 75-80% of its milk sales realisation to farmers. It sells approximately 35 lakh litres daily in Delhi-NCR and over 50 lakh litres across the country.
Amul and Madhya Pradesh-based Sanchi Dairy had also increased milk prices by ₹2 per litre in May 2026.
Mother Dairy, established in 1974, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). It recorded a 17% rise in turnover to ₹20,300 crore in the last financial year.
