New Delhi: From Monday, 21 November 2022, Mother Dairy full-cream milk and token milk will be costlier by Rs. 1 per litre and Rs. 2 per litre respectively across the Delhi-NCR (National Capital Region).
The price of full cream milk has been increased to ? 64 per litre from ? 63 per litre. However, the company has not increased the prices of full-cream milk sold in 500 ml packs. The token milk will be sold at Rs. 50 per litre.
On Sunday, the company made this announcement. This is the fourth hike in milk prices this year by Mother Dairy.
A Mother Dairy spokesperson said that the decision was taken because of the hike in its procurement cost of raw milk from dairy farmers.
"This year, the entire dairy industry is witnessing a huge gap in the demand and supply of milk. Raw milk availability has been impacted due to the increased cost of feed and fodder, erratic monsoon, etc, putting stress on raw milk prices. The outgrowing consumption due to a boost in demand this year has led to much higher usage of commodities," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson informed us that the price hike will be implemented from Monday.
"The ongoing mismatch in the demand-supply, even after the festive season, has further led to the firming of raw milk prices. We are, therefore, constrained to partially pass on the impact with a revision in consumer prices of certain variants.
