Mother Dairy Friday hiked milk prices by up to Rs 2 per litre effective Saturday as it is paying more to farmers for procurement of milk from farmers due to rising cost of fodder.

The leading milk supplier in the national capital region has increased the prices for the first time in more than two years. It also comes days after Amul hiked milk prices by Rs 2 per litre. Mother Dairy has increased the prices of only poly pack milk. The prices of bulk vended milk, also known as token milk, have not been hiked.

“The 1 litre pack has been increased by Re 1 only and the 500 ml pack by Rs 2 a litre, effectively impacting the consumer by Re 1 per pack,” it said in a statement.
