Amul increases milk prices across India from May 14; Check per litre revised rates

Amul has increased milk prices across India from May 14, citing higher fuel, cattle feed and packaging costs. The latest hike comes after a year and may add pressure on household budgets.

New Delhi: Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, which sells dairy products under the Amul brand, has announced a fresh increase in milk prices across India. The revised rates will come into effect from May 14.

The cooperative said milk prices have been increased by Rs 2 per litre across major variants due to rising operational and production costs. Buffalo milk prices, meanwhile, have gone up by Rs 4 per litre.

Price Hike After One Year

This is the first major milk price revision by Amul since May 2025. According to the company, the latest increase translates to nearly 2.5 to 3.5 per cent per litre, which it described as lower than the prevailing food inflation rate.

The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) said the decision was taken after a sharp rise in expenses linked to cattle feed, packaging material and fuel.

The cooperative also noted that milk procurement prices paid to farmers have increased by Rs 30 per kilogram of fat, marking a 3.7 per cent rise compared to last year.

Revised Milk Prices In Delhi-NCR

Under the revised pricing structure for Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh, a 500 ml pouch of Amul Slim N Trim milk will now cost Rs 27, while Amul Taaza will be priced at Rs 30.

Amul Cow Milk will cost Rs 31 for a 500 ml pack, while Amul Gold will retail at Rs 36. Buffalo milk prices have been revised upward to Rs 80 per litre.

The company stated that the increase is necessary to maintain stable milk procurement from dairy farmers and ensure uninterrupted supply across markets.

Impact On Consumers And Inflation

The latest revision is expected to affect household budgets, especially among middle-class consumers already dealing with rising food prices.

Industry observers believe higher milk prices may also contribute to food inflation, as dairy products remain an essential part of daily consumption across urban and rural households.

However, GCMMF said a significant portion of consumer payments continues to be passed on directly to milk producers. According to the cooperative, nearly 80 paise of every rupee earned from milk and milk products goes back to farmers.

Amul Crosses Rs 1 Lakh Crore Milestone

Amul recently crossed the Rs 1 lakh crore turnover milestone during the 2025-26 financial year, driven by strong demand for dairy products in domestic and international markets.

GCMMF reported a turnover growth of 11.4 per cent in the last fiscal year and continues to remain one of the world’s largest farmer-owned dairy cooperatives.
