After the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) hiked the prices of milk and curd (KMF) by ₹8 per litre, the Bangalore Urban, Rural & Ramanagara District Co-Operative Milk Producers Societies Union Limited (BAMUL) also hiked the prices of ghee, butter and paneer.

The revised prices released on November 4 will be effective across the state from November 5. Prices were last increased in July 2026 by 10%.

While earlier the price of one liter bag of ghee was ₹715, now it will be ₹850 per litre. A tin of pet ghee, which was earlier ₹735, will now cost ₹870 per litre. For five litres, the price has increased from ₹3,575 to ₹4,250. A one-litre can of ghee has been increased by ₹120, from ₹750 to ₹870. For a 15 liter can, the price has increased from ₹ 11,625 to ₹ 14,000.

A blister pack of 100 gm butter has been increased from ₹600 to ₹900, while a 500 gm pack of salted butter has gone up from ₹310 to ₹380 and unsalted butter from ₹330 to ₹390. A 200g pack of Paneer has been increased from ₹96 to ₹115 and a one kg pack of paneer from ₹480 to ₹485.

PC Rao, honorary president of Bangalore Hotels Association, criticized the move and said, “This was expected but it is a huge financial burden on the hotel industry. Another 25% burden including increase in prices of milk, curd, paneer, ghee and butter.”
