How the Amul Mother Dairy milk price hike November 12 2026 traces to uneven monsoons, fodder and logistics
Mother Dairy and GCMMF point to input costs. Uneven rains pushed green and dry fodder prices up by 20%, according to DD News. Cattle feed rose by 10%. Packaging and transport costs jumped by 25%.
These costs land first on dairy farmers. Fodder is the largest daily expense for a cattle owner. Rain patterns decide how much of it grows. Read more on how monsoon swings affect crops and on India’s food inflation trend.
The companies say 80% of the increase goes to 36 lakh farmers. For background on farm-side models, see sustainable dairy in India.
Full cream milk with 6% fat rose 5.3%, while toned milk with 3% fat rose 3.3%. The reason is arithmetic. Amul Gold went up ₹4 on a base of ₹76. Amul Taaza went up ₹2 on a base of ₹60. Gold’s rise is twice as large in rupees, and its starting price is only about a quarter higher. The percentage gap follows from that.
How much did Amul and Mother Dairy raise milk prices on November 12?

The new prices took effect on November 12, 2026. Amul and Mother Dairy say 80% of the increase will reach farmers, which covers 36 lakh milk producers.
