“This price hike is being done due to an increase in an overall cost of operation and production of milk. The cattle feeding cost alone has increased to approximately 20 per cent compared to last year. Considering the rise in input costs, our member unions have also increased farmers’ prices in the range of 8-9 per cent over the previous year,” it had said.
In December, Mother Dairy had increased milk prices by Rs 2 per litre in the Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region).
This was the fifth round of hike in milk prices this year by leading milk supplier Mother Dairy in Delhi-NCR. In November also, Mother Dairy increased prices of full-cream milk by Re 1 per litre and token milk by Rs 2 per litre in Delhi-NCR citing a rise in input costs.
Mother Dairy had attributed the hike in prices to increase in the company’s procurement cost of raw milk from dairy farmers.
“It is an unprecedented year for the dairy industry. We have been witnessing a significant increase in demand of milk and milk products from both consumers and institutions, even after festivals. On the other hand, procurement of raw milk has also not picked up after Diwali as was anticipated,” the company had said.
