Mother Dairy, one of the country’s largest producers of dairy products, said its price hike was a necessary step to address the rising input costs.

Price Hike Due to Rising Procurement Costs

Mother Dairy cited rising procurement costs as the primary reason for the price revision. In a statement, Mother Dairy said, "The price revision has been necessitated to address the significant increase in procurement costs, which have gone up by Rs 4-5 per litre over the past few months."

Mother Dairy explained that the surge in procurement prices was largely due to the early onset of summer and heatwave conditions that affected milk production. 

According to a Mother Dairy official, "This price revision has been necessitated to address the significant increase in procurement costs, which have gone up by Rs 4-5 per litre over the past few months."

Mother Dairy’s Price Changes Effective from 30th April

Mother Dairy’s price changes also applied to several milk varieties, including bulk-vended milk and full-cream milk. The new prices were implemented starting 30th April 2025 in the markets of Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana , and Uttarakhand.
