Mother Dairy milk costlier by up to Rs 4 in Delhi-NCR
New Delhi: People in Delhi-NCR have received another blow from inflation. Mother Dairy has increased the prices of various categories of its liquid milk by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre. The new rates came into effect from 12 November 2026. The change will affect several products, including full cream, toned, double toned and cow milk.
According to the new rates, the price of full cream milk has increased from Rs 72 to Rs 76 per litre. Toned milk will now be available at Rs 62 per litre instead of Rs 60. The price of double toned milk has been raised from Rs 54 to Rs 56. Cow milk will now cost Rs 65 per litre instead of Rs 62. Toned milk available from vending booths has increased from Rs 58 to Rs 60 per litre.
The company cited an increase in milk procurement costs and production-related expenses as the main reasons behind the price hike. According to the company, irregular monsoon conditions have affected the availability of green and dry fodder in several areas. Over the past year, fodder prices have risen by about 20 percent and cattle feed prices by nearly 10 percent. Operating costs, including packaging and transportation, have also increased.
Mother Dairy supplies about 35 lakh litres of milk every day in Delhi-NCR. The company pays about 75 to 80 percent of the amount received from its milk sales to farmers.
This is the second time this year that the company has increased milk prices. Earlier, prices were revised on 14 May 2026. The new rates will now affect the monthly household budgets of consumers in Delhi-NCR.
