New Delhi, May 1, 2025 – Amul, India’s beloved dairy brand, has just raised the price of its milk by ₹2 per litre, starting today. This price hike, announced by the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), affects all Amul milk variants, including Amul Gold, Taaza, Buffalo Milk, and more. But why is your morning chai or glass of milk suddenly costing more? Let’s break it down.
The GCMMF says the price increase is due to rising costs in milk production. Farmers are facing higher expenses for cattle feed, labor, and other essentials, especially with early summer heatwaves affecting milk output. “This hike ensures our 3.6 million farmers get fair pay for their hard work,” the cooperative stated. They also noted that the 3-4% price rise is lower than the average food inflation in India, which has been around 9%.
For consumers, this means a 500ml pouch of Amul Gold now costs ₹34, while a 1-litre pack is ₹67 in Gujarat. Amul Taaza’s 500ml pouch is ₹28, and Buffalo Milk is ₹37 for 500ml. These changes apply across India, hitting household budgets at a time when other essentials like rice and sugar are also pricier.
But there’s a silver lining for farmers. Amul has also increased the amount it pays them for milk, with a recent ₹10 per kilogram of fat hike starting June 1. Plus, they’ve cut cattle feed costs, helping over 7 lakh farmers in Gujarat save money while earning more. This move shows Amul’s focus on supporting its farmers, who get 80 paise of every rupee from milk sales.
So, what’s next? Will this price hike ripple to other dairy products like butter or cheese? Some experts think so, as other brands like Mother Dairy have also raised prices. For now, consumers might need to tweak their budgets, while Amul promises to keep quality high and farmers happy.
What do you think about this price hike? Is it fair, or is it squeezing your wallet too much? Share your thoughts as India’s dairy giant navigates these costly times!
