Why did the company raise the price?

Mother Dairy has increased milk prices by up to 2 rupees per liter from Wednesday to partially compensate for rising input costs. An official of the company said on Tuesday, 29 April 2025 that the price revision will be effective across the market from April 30, 2025. The Mother Dairy official stated, “This price revision has become necessary to address the significant increase in purchasing costs, which has risen by 4-5 rupees per liter over the past few months.”

The surge in procurement prices is primarily driven by early onset of summer and heatwave conditions, the official said. Mother Dairy sells around 35 lakh litre of milk per day in the Delhi-NCR market through its own outlets, general trade and e-commerce platforms.

“We remain committed to ensuring the consistent availability of quality milk to consumers while supporting the livelihoods of our farmers,” he said.
