Milk Price Hike: In a major blow to the middle class amid ongoing fears of a fuel shortage, the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) on Wednesday announced a significant hike in Amul milk prices. The prices, hiked by Rs 2 per litre, will be effective across India from May 14 (tomorrow).
The GCMMF has cited increased input and production costs as the reason behind the decision to increase milk prices. "The price hike is being done due to an increase in the overall cost of operation and production of milk. There is a substantial increase in the cost of cattle feed, milk packaging film and fuel during the year," GCMMF said in a statement.
The cooperative said its member unions have also increased farmers' procurement price by Rs 30 per kg of fat, which is a 3.7 per cent increase over May 2025.
