Mother Dairy Milk Prices Hiked By Up To ₹4 Per Litre From November 12; Check New Rates

Milk is set to become costlier for consumers as Mother Dairy has increased prices of its liquid milk variants by ₹2 to ₹4 per litre, with the revised rates coming into effect from Thursday, November 12. The price hike, attributed to rising milk procurement costs, will add to household expenses, particularly for regular consumers across Delhi-NCR.

Mother Dairy, one of the largest milk suppliers in the Delhi-NCR market, last raised prices on May 14, 2026. Before that, its previous revision took place in April 2025.

According to sources, the company has revised rates across several liquid milk categories. A Mother Dairy spokesperson declined to comment on the latest increase.

Mother Dairy New Milk Prices From November 12

The revised prices will affect toned, full cream, double toned and cow milk variants. Here is a comparison of the old and new rates in the Delhi-NCR market:

The steepest increase is in full cream milk, which will now cost ₹76 per litre, up from ₹72. Cow milk has become costlier by ₹3 per litre, while the other listed variants have seen a ₹2 increase.

Why Has Mother Dairy Increased Milk Prices?

Sources said the company has raised prices because of an increase in the procurement rates paid to farmers. With the cost of purchasing milk rising, Mother Dairy has decided to pass on part of the additional input cost to consumers.

The company passes on around 75-80% of its milk sales realisation to farmers, making procurement costs a significant factor in its pricing.
