Households across Delhi-NCR will soon face higher daily milk costs as Mother Dairy prepares to raise prices on several liquid milk varieties. The revised rates, effective Thursday, November 12, will raise milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre, adding to consumers’ financial burden. The price adjustment comes amid rising procurement costs, with the company reportedly paying more to dairy farmers for raw milk.
According to sources cited by PTI, Mother Dairy has decided to transfer a portion of these additional expenses to customers.
The latest revision affects multiple categories, including full cream, toned, double toned and cow milk. Full cream milk will experience the steepest increase, with its price going up by Rs 4 per litre.
Mother Dairy Announces Fresh Price Hike Across Milk Categories
Mother Dairy has revised the retail rates of several popular milk products sold across the National Capital Region. The company, which is among the biggest milk suppliers in Delhi-NCR, last increased its liquid milk prices on May 14, 2026. It had also implemented an earlier revision in April 2025.
The latest increase reflects higher payments to farmers for milk procurement. Sources indicated in the report that the company is absorbing part of the additional cost rather than passing the entire increase on to consumers.
Mother Dairy reportedly distributes around 75-80 per cent of its milk sales realisation to farmers, highlighting the significant role procurement expenses play in its overall business operations.
Consumers purchasing different Mother Dairy milk variants will see the following changes in their daily expenses:
Full cream milk (pouched): Rs 72 to Rs 76 per litre (increase of Rs 4).
Toned milk (bulk vended): Rs 58 to Rs 60 per litre (increase of Rs 2).
Toned milk (pouched): Rs 60 to Rs 62 per litre (increase of Rs 2).
Double toned milk: Rs 54 to Rs 56 per litre (increase of Rs 2).
Cow milk: Rs 62 to Rs 65 per litre (increase of Rs 3).
The revised prices mean that customers buying full cream milk will pay Rs 4 more for every litre. Cow milk consumers will face an increase of Rs 3, while buyers of toned and double toned milk will have to spend an additional Rs 2 per litre.
The changes will apply from November 12, making it important for regular buyers to account for the higher rates when planning their monthly household budgets.
Delhi-NCR Remains A Major Market For Mother Dairy
The price revision could affect a substantial number of households, given the company’s extensive distribution network in the region.
Mother Dairy supplies approximately 35 lakh litres of milk every day across Delhi-NCR. Its products reach customers through company-operated outlets, neighbourhood retailers and online delivery platforms. Across all its markets, the company’s daily milk sales exceed 50 lakh litres.
Its business has also recorded considerable expansion. Mother Dairy reported a 17 per cent increase in turnover during the previous financial year, taking revenue to Rs 20,300 crore. Stronger demand for milk products and edible oils contributed to the growth.
Established in 1974, the company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Alongside its core dairy business, it markets edible oils through the Dhara brand and sells fruits, vegetables, frozen foods, snacks, pulps and concentrates under Safal.
