Amul and Mother Dairy, two of the major milk supplier companies in India, have raised milk prices by up to Rs 4, effective from November 12. The move came as a major shock for common citizens who have been facing the heat of food inflation for the past 5-6 months.
A household that buys a litre of packaged milk every day for their needs will have to pay Rs 60 to Rs 120 more each month after the new rates came into effect.

Why Mother Dairy Hike Rates
Sources said that due to the increase in the prices of milk procured from farmers, the company has been forced to partially pass on the increase in its raw material costs to the consumers. Mother Dairy gives 75-80 per cent of its revenue from milk sales to farmers.
