Mother Dairy has increased the prices of its liquid milk variants by Rs 2–4 per litre, with the revised rates coming into effect from Thursday, November 12, sources said.
The price hike comes amid rising input costs, particularly higher procurement prices paid to farmers. Sources said the company has decided to partially pass on the increased costs to consumers. However, a Mother Dairy spokesperson declined to comment on the revision.
Mother Dairy, one of the largest milk suppliers in the Delhi-NCR region, had last increased milk prices on May 14, 2026. Before that, the previous revision was announced in April 2025.
Revised Milk Prices in Delhi-NCR
Under the revised rates, toned milk (bulk vended) will now cost Rs 60 per litre, up from Rs 58. The price of full cream milk (pouched) has been increased from Rs 72 to Rs 76 per litre.
Similarly, toned milk (pouched) will now be available at Rs 62 per litre against the earlier price of Rs 60. Double toned milk has become costlier by Rs 2 and will now cost Rs 56 per litre.
The price of cow milk has also been increased from Rs 62 to Rs 65 per litre.
Higher Procurement Costs Behind Price Hike
According to sources, rising milk procurement prices have prompted the company to revise retail rates. Mother Dairy reportedly passes on around 75–80 per cent of its milk sales realisation to farmers.
The company sells approximately 35 lakh litres of milk daily in the Delhi-NCR market through its own outlets, general trade and e-commerce platforms. Its total daily milk sales across markets exceed 50 lakh litres.
Mother Dairy Records 17% Turnover Growth
Mother Dairy reported a 17 per cent increase in turnover to Rs 20,300 crore in the last financial year, supported by improved demand for its milk products and cooking oils.
Established in 1974, Mother Dairy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).
The company markets milk and dairy products under the Mother Dairy brand, edible oils under Dhara, and fresh fruits, vegetables, frozen products, snacks, pulps and concentrates under the Safal brand.
It operates nine milk processing plants and four horticulture processing plants. Its edible oil business operates through 16 associated plants.
