Delhi. Common people, who are facing the brunt of inflation, will now have to shell out more for milk. Mother Dairy has increased the prices of milk by Rs 2 to 4 per liter citing rising costs. The new rates will be applicable from Thursday. Mother Dairy, the largest supplier of milk in Delhi-NCR, had earlier increased the prices on May 14, 2026. Before that the prices were revised in April 2025.
According to sources, Mother Dairy has increased the consumer price of its various varieties of loose milk by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre. The new rates will be applicable from November 12. Mother Dairy spokesperson, however, declined to comment. The special thing is that the prices of all major categories from full cream milk to toned and double toned milk have been increased.
Sources said that the prices of milk purchased from farmers have increased due to which the company is having to pass on some of the burden of the increase in costs on consumers. Mother Dairy gives 75-80 percent of the income from milk sales to the farmers. The company sells about 35 lakh liters of milk daily in the Delhi-NCR market. Overall, the company sells more than 50 lakh liters of milk every day.
Now how much money will have to be paid for which milk?
After the implementation of Mother Dairy's new rates, consumers will have to pay higher prices for different varieties of milk. After this increase, the monthly budget of families who buy milk daily will also be affected. Expenses will increase especially in those houses where several liters of milk is consumed every day.
