Bihar State Milk Co-operative Federation increased the prices of Sudha milk by Rs 2 per liter.

Patna. Bihar State Milk Co-operative Federation (Confed) has increased the prices of Sudha milk. After the implementation of the new rates, now customers will have to spend Rs 2 more on every liter of milk. Before this, Amul had also increased the price by Rs 2 per litre. The rates have come into effect from the morning of 22nd May.

Earlier Sudha Gold milk was available at Rs 65 per litre, the price of which has now increased to Rs 67 per litre. Sudha Shakti milk which was earlier being sold at Rs 57 per liter, now customers will have to buy it at Rs 59 per liter.

Apart from this, the price of cow milk has also been increased by Rs 2 per liter. Earlier this milk was available at Rs 54 per liter, which has now become Rs 56 per liter. Apart from Sudha, products of other dairy companies including Ashirwad are also sold in many districts of Bihar including the capital Patna. It is believed that after the increase in the prices of Sudha milk, other companies may also increase the prices of their milk soon.

Amid the rising price of milk, it is a matter of relief that at present there has been no change in the prices of paneer, khova, chhena and the sweets made from them. This means consumers will not have to pay extra money for these products right now.

Confed officials said the change in prices had become necessary due to increase in production and operating costs. He cited huge increases in animal feed prices and transportation costs, which have significantly increased input costs. Officials further said that for the last few years, the dairy sector has been facing continuously rising costs, due to which retail prices have to be changed from time to time. It is noteworthy that this is the third change in prices made by Sudha in the last two years. Earlier, on May 21, 2025, the cooperative had increased milk prices in Bihar by Rs 2 per liter.
