Mother Dairy Hikes Milk Prices By Up To Rs 4 Per Litre, Cites Rising Input Costs

Mother Dairy, one of the largest milk suppliers in the Delhi-NCR region, has increased the prices of its liquid milk variants by Rs 2-4 per litre, effective November 12, citing rising input costs, according to sources.

The price revision follows an increase in milk procurement costs, with the company facing higher payments to farmers. Mother Dairy has partly passed on the additional cost to consumers. The company's spokesperson declined to comment on the price hike.

In the National Capital Region, the price of toned milk (bulk vended) has been increased to Rs 60 per litre from Rs 58, while full cream milk (pouched) will now cost Rs 76 per litre, up from Rs 72.

The price of toned milk (pouched) has been raised to Rs 62 per litre from Rs 60. Double toned milk will cost Rs 56 per litre against Rs 54 earlier. Meanwhile, cow milk prices have been increased to Rs 65 per litre from Rs 62.

Mother Dairy had last revised milk prices on May 14, 2026. Before that, the previous increase was implemented in April 2025.

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 across markets. Mother Dairy passes on around 75-80 per cent of its milk sales realisation to farmers.

The company reported a 17 per cent growth in turnover to Rs 20,300 crore in the last financial year, supported by improved demand for its milk products and cooking oils.

Commissioned in 1974, Mother Dairy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Besides milk and dairy products, it markets edible oils under the Dhara brand and fresh produce, frozen vegetables and other food products under the Safal brand.
