Mother Dairy, the largest milk supplier in the Delhi-NCR region, has announced a price hike for its liquid milk variants, effective November 12. The increase ranges from ₹2 to ₹4 per litre, a move attributed to rising input costs, particularly the procurement prices paid to farmers, which have also escalated. This adjustment marks the company's first price change since May 14, 2026, following previous revisions in April of the same year.

The new prices will see toned milk (bulk vended) rise to ₹60 from ₹58 per litre, while full cream milk (pouched) will now cost ₹76 per litre, up from ₹72. Other changes include an increase in the price of toned milk (pouched) to ₹62 from ₹60 per litre and double toned milk to ₹56 per litre from ₹54. Additionally, cow milk prices will increase to ₹65 per litre from ₹62.S2

Mother Dairy sells approximately 35 lakh litres of milk daily through its outlets, general trade, and e-commerce platforms, contributing to an overall daily sale of over 50 lakh litres. The company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), reported a 17 percent growth in turnover to ₹20,300 crore in the last fiscal year, driven by increased demand for its milk products and cooking oils. Mother Dairy operates nine milk processing plants and four horticulture processing plants, and it markets edible oils under the 'Dhara' brand and fresh produce under the 'Safal' brand.S2
