Amul Hikes Milk Prices By Rs 2 Per Litre From Tuesday To Reduce Input Costs

Beginning March, Amul milk is going to cost Rs 2 more per litre. The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) which markets milk and milk products under the Amul brand name, has decided to increase milk prices by Rs 2 per litre due to input cost. The new prices will be effective from March 1, 2022. Last time, GCMMF had hiked the milk prices by Rs 2 per litre in July 2021.

Releasing a statement, the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation said it has decided to hike the milk prices by Rs 2 per litre across India from tomorrow. “The increase of Rs 2 per litre translates into a 4% increase in MRP which is much lower than average food inflation,” the statement read.
