Amul milk to cost more in Gujarat

A glass of Amul milk, the popular milk brand marketed by the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), will cost more as the prices have been raised by up to Rs 2 a litre in the state.

“We have decided to hike the milk prices of our brands ‘Taaza’ and ‘Slim and Trim’ by Re 1 per litre, while the prices of our brands like ‘Gold’ and ‘Shakti’ shall be increased by Rs 2 per litre with effect from February 1 in Gujarat only,” Chief General Manager GCMMF R S Sodhi told PTI.

GCMMF has cited rise in input costs like cattle feed as a the reason for the hike.

“Due to increase in input cost, we have to pay more to the milk producers hence the price rise,” Sodhi said.
