Milk Prices Rise Again: Amul Announces Rs 2 Hike Nationwide

Amul milk will cost more across India from May 14, as retail prices increase. Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation has raised rates by Rs 2 per litre, lifting them about 2.5-3.5 per cent.

The revision covers major fresh milk pouches under the Amul brand in both urban and rural markets. GCMMF linked the Amul milk price hike to higher input and operational costs. These included cattle feed, packaging materials and fuel this year. The body said this in a statement.

Amul milk price hike and changes in procurement

Alongside the Amul milk price hike, GCMMF pointed to higher payments for dairy farmers. Member unions increased procurement prices by Rs 30 per kg of fat, a 3.7 per cent rise over May 2025 levels. Amul previously raised retail prices on May 1, 2025.

"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."
