Mangalore Today News Network

Bengaluru,June 25, 2024: The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) has announced a ₹2 per litre hike in the price of Nandini milk, with the cost of a litre of milk now set at ₹44 in Karnataka. This increase, effective from June 26, marks the second hike in less than a year.

KMF Chairman Bhima Naik confirmed the price hike, stating that the decision was made in light of the rising costs associated with milk production. Despite the increase, milk prices in Karnataka remain competitive compared to neighbouring states. In Kerala, a liter of milk costs Rs 52, while in Gujarat and Maharashtra, Amul milk is priced at Rs 56 per liter. The milk price for Delhi’s Mother Dairy is Rs 54 per liter.

While the price hike has drawn criticism from opposition leaders, the KMF has defended the move and said that it is necessary to ensure the viability of milk production and support dairy farmers.
