New Delhi: Mother Dairy has increased the prices of its liquid milk variants by Rs 2-4 per litre, with the revised rates coming into effect on Thursday, November 12, amid rising input costs, sources said.
The company, the largest milk supplier in India's Delhi-NCR region, last revised its prices on May 14, 2026. Before that, the previous increase was announced in April 2025.
According to sources, the latest revision covers several liquid milk variants. A Mother Dairy spokesperson declined to comment.
The increase follows a rise in the procurement prices of milk from farmers, prompting the company to pass on part of the additional cost to consumers.
Mother Dairy passes on 75-80 per cent of its milk sales realisation to farmers. It sells around 35 lakh litres of milk every day in the Delhi-NCR market through its own outlets, general trade, and e-commerce platforms. Its overall daily sales exceed 50 lakh litres.

Full cream milk in pouches will now cost Rs 76 per litre, up from Rs 72. Pouched toned milk has increased from Rs 60 to Rs 62 per litre, while double toned milk will cost Rs 56 instead of Rs 54.
The price of cow milk has also been raised from Rs 62 to Rs 65 per litre.
The increase is expected to add to household expenses and could put further pressure on food inflation.
According to the National Statistics Office (NSO), food inflation rose to 7.74 per cent in September, compared with 5.97 per cent in the previous month.
Retail inflation climbed to 5.54 per cent in September, driven by higher onion and other food prices, remaining within the Reserve Bank of India's tolerance band, according to the latest government data. Consumer Price Index-based headline inflation stood at 4.83 per cent in August.
