Amul Hikes Milk Prices by Up to ₹4 Per Litre

Ahmedabad: The Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets milk and milk products under the Amul brand, has increased prices of its major milk variants by 4% to 5% across India, effective November 12, 2026.

The price of Amul Taaza Toned Milk (3% milk fat), the federation’s best-selling variant, has been increased by ₹2 per litre, marking a 3.3% hike. Meanwhile, Amul Gold Milk (6% milk fat) has become costlier by ₹4 per litre, a 5.5% increase.

With new rates, Amul Taaza, the toned milk variant, will become costlier by ₹2 per litre, taking its price to ₹62 per litre. Amul Gold, the full-cream milk variant, will see a ₹4 increase, taking its price to ₹80 per litre.

The federation attributed the price revision to a significant rise in milk production and processing costs. Over the past year, expenses on green and dry fodder, cattle feed ingredients such as oilcake, maize and molasses, milk packaging film, and fuel have increased substantially.

It said deficient and erratic rainfall in Gujarat and several other parts of the country had further compounded the challenges faced by milk producers. The price hike, it added, was necessary to ensure better returns for farmers and support them during these difficult conditions.

GCMMF also said its member unions had increased milk procurement prices paid to farmers by 4% to 5% over the past year. The latest revision in consumer prices would provide additional support to milk producers.

Under the Amul cooperative structure, 80% of the revenue generated from consumers is returned to its 3.6 million (36 lakh) milk producers. The federation said the price revision would help maintain remunerative milk prices for farmers and encourage them to increase milk production.

The latest revision marks Amul’s first milk price hike since May 2026.

The announcement comes hours after Mother Dairy announced a similar increase of ₹2 to ₹4 per litre in milk prices, citing rising input costs. DeshGujarat
