Your daily cup of tea or morning glass of milk may soon cost a little more. Leading dairy brand Amul and Mother Dairy have announced a fresh increase in milk prices across India, with the revised rates coming into effect from May 14, 2026.
Boty the companies has raised prices by Rs 2 per litre across several milk variants, citing higher costs linked to cattle feed, packaging and overall production. According to the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets Amul products, the increase applies to major milk-selling packs across the country.
The latest price revision covers some of Amul’s most widely used milk products, including Taaza, Gold, Cow Milk, Buffalo Milk, Shakti, and Tea Special.
Under the revised prices, Amul Cow Milk (500 ml), which currently costs Rs 29, will now be available at Rs 30. Amul Shakti milk (500 ml) will also become slightly more expensive, with its price increasing from Rs 31 to Rs 32. T Special milk in the 1-litre pack will see a sharper jump, moving from the current Rs 63 to Rs 66.
Meanwhile, Amul Gold (500 ml) will now cost Rs 35 instead of Rs 34, and the price of Amul Taaza (500 ml) has been increased from Rs 28 to Rs 29. Amul Buffalo Milk (500 ml) will also become dearer, with prices rising from Rs 37 to Rs 39.
The company said the last price revision was undertaken in late April 2025. According to Mother Dairy, the latest increase was necessitated due to a sustained rise in farmer procurement prices, which have gone up by around 6 per cent over the past one year despite efforts to minimise the burden on consumers.
In the Delhi-NCR market, prices of Mother Dairy toned milk (bulk vended) have been increased from Rs 56 per litre to Rs 58 per litre. Full cream milk (pouched) will now cost Rs 72 per litre. The price of toned milk (pouched) has been raised from Rs 58 to Rs 60 per litre, while double toned milk will now cost Rs 54 per litre. Cow milk prices have also been increased from Rs 60 to Rs 62 per litre.
GCMMF said the decision was taken due to rising costs of cattle feed, milk packaging film and fuel over the past year. The federation also said milk procurement prices paid to farmers have increased by 3.7% since May 2025.
Amul added that nearly 80 paise of every rupee paid by consumers goes directly to milk producers. According to the company, the revision will help ensure fair prices for farmers and encourage higher milk production in the months ahead.
Mother Dairy also said that the revision reflects only a partial pass-through of increased costs and is intended to maintain a fair balance between farmer welfare and consumer interests. The company said nearly 75-80 per cent of its milk sales realisation is passed on to farmers.
