Nandini milk gets costlier by ₹2 per litre in Karnataka; check revised price list

Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF), the dairy cooperative body which sells milk under the 'Nandini' brand, announced on Tuesday, June 25, that it is raising the prices by ₹2 per litre. The new rates will come into effect from Wednesday, June 26.

The revised prices would be applicable for all varieties of milk sold by the federation, with the rate of the premium Santrupti Milk to rise to ₹57 a litre, whereas the basic double toned milk will be charged at ₹43 per litre.

The hike, second within a year's period, was announced at a press conference in Bengaluru by KMF Chairman Bhima Naik. The rates were last increased by ₹3 per litre in July 2023.

The latest revision in milk prices comes days after the Karnataka government raised tax on fuel, which led to petrol prices rising by ₹3 per litre and diesel by ₹3.5 a litre.

The KMF, while justifying the decision to raise the milk rates, said the company would be providing 50 ml extra in its per litre pack. This means that consumers would get 1.05 litre of milk, instead of 1 litre, for paying an additional ₹2.

Earlier this month, the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), the owner of the Amul brand, has increased milk prices by ₹2 per litre across all markets nationwide starting Monday, June 3, 2024.

"The increase in consumer price is mainly to compensate the producers for increased production costs, which have been on the rise for over one year," Mother Dairy had said.
