Mother Dairy milk prices will rise by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre across Delhi-NCR from Thursday, November 12, adding to household food costs in one of the company’s largest markets. The increase covers all milk variants sold by the dairy company, according to a report by Jagran citing the Press Trust of India.
The revised prices will take effect from November 12. Mother Dairy has attributed the increase to higher input costs. Sources cited in the report said the company’s cost of procuring milk from farmers had increased, prompting it to pass on part of the additional burden to consumers.
Mother Dairy is among the largest suppliers of milk in the Delhi-NCR market. The company’s products are sold through retail outlets and other distribution channels across the region, meaning the revised rates will affect regular consumers in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and nearby areas where its milk is widely available.
The report did not provide the existing or revised retail price of each individual milk variant. It said that the increase would range between Rs 2 and Rs 4 per litre, depending on the product. Consumers will therefore need to check the updated price printed on packets or displayed by retailers once the new rates come into effect.
The increase follows an earlier revision by Mother Dairy on May 14 this year. Before that, the company had raised milk prices in April 2025, according to the report. The repeated revisions place milk prices within the wider pressure on recurring household expenses, although the supplied report does not quantify the impact of the latest increase on consumer inflation or family budgets.
Mother Dairy’s price decision also highlights the link between urban food prices and the procurement costs faced by dairy companies. Retail rates in cities are shaped not only by distribution and packaging expenses but also by the price paid for milk sourced from farmers. In this case, the company has cited higher procurement costs as the reason for transferring part of the increase to consumers.
A Mother Dairy spokesperson declined to comment when asked about the price increase, the report said. The revised rates are scheduled to apply across Delhi-NCR from Thursday, November 12, with the exact price depending on the milk variant purchased.
