Nandini Prices in Karnataka May Drop After GST Cut from September 22

Dairy lovers in Karnataka could soon see lower prices on Nandini products, as the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) is preparing a rollback on curd, ghee, butter, and lassi. The move comes after the central government reduced GST on dairy products from 12% to 5%, effective September 22.

According to reports, curd prices may drop by ₹4 per litre, reversing the recent hike. A final decision is expected after a KMF meeting on September 20, with the new rates likely to be implemented from September 22. This would bring much-needed relief to middle and lower-income families across Karnataka.

Why the Price Cut?

In 2017, dairy products were brought under GST.

By 2022, the rate had gone up to 22%, increasing costs for consumers.

Now, with GST reduced to 5%, key Nandini items are set to become more affordable.

Nandini is a household name in Karnataka, and almost every family depends on its products daily. The ₹4 rollback on curd and milk, along with cuts on ghee, butter, and lassi, is expected to reduce household expenses across the state.

While KMF's Nandini brand enjoys global recognition, this price cut reflects its strong focus on Karnataka consumers, ensuring quality products remain affordable.

The official order is still awaited, but Karnataka households are hopeful of cheaper Nandini products starting September 22.
