Amul's milk is again costlier by Rs 2

Amul on Saturday increased the price of milk by Rs 2 per litre. Now instead of Rs 61, Rs 63 will have to be paid for a packet of one-litre full cream Amul milk (Amul Gold). At the same time, the price of half a litre of milk has increased from Rs 30 to Rs 31. Apart from this, the price of buffalo milk has also been increased by Rs 2 per litre. Earlier in August and March also, there was an increase of Rs 2 per litre.
There has been no increase in the price of Amul milk in Gujarat. Their milk will continue to be available at the old rate. The reason for this is being told about the Gujarat Assembly elections. It could happen by the end of this year.
The company has not yet given the reason for increasing the rate. However, earlier in August, when Amul raised the prices, it was attributed to the increase in operating costs and milk production costs. The company said that the price of animal feed has increased by about 20% compared to last year. In view of the increase in input cost and animal feed, the milk unions affiliated with Amul Federation have also increased the milk purchase price of farmers by 8-9% as compared to last year.
Mother Dairy is one of the leading milk suppliers in the Delhi-NCR market and sells more than 30 lakh litres of milk per day through poly packs and vending machines. At the same time, Amul is also the leading brand in the country, which is owned by lakhs of farmers. The journey that started 75 years ago with 247 litres of milk from two villages in Gujarat has reached 260 lakh litres today.
