Mother Dairy has decided to increase the price of its full-cream milk by Re.1 per liter and the price of token milk would be increased by Rs.2 per liter, in the Delhi-NCR region. This increase in prices would come into effect beginning today (Monday).
New prices
-After a raise of Re.1/litre for full-cream milk, the new price for the same is quoted as Rs.64 per liter of milk.
However, the price of full-cream milk that is packed in 500ml containers has not been changed by the company.
-Bulk vended milk or token milk will now be sold at Rs.50 per liter, after a hike of Rs.2/litre.
Reasons for price rise
-Mother Dairy cited an increase in the cost of obtaining raw materials, which comes from the dairy farmers, as the reason for an increase in the prices of milk.
-The company also stated that the heavy monsoon has impacted the availability of raw milk, that made them raise the prices.
-Also, Mothers Dairy reported an increase in the demand for processed milk. Therefore, the price rise would be a feasible solution for the business to continue providing a fair share to the farmers and ensuring that high-quality milk is being delivered to the customers.
The hike in milk prices will definitely hit the regular household budget, at a time when food inflation is already growing owing to the pandemic.
Mothers Dairy passes around 75% of the prices paid by the consumers, to the milk producers.
