Mother Dairy has hiked milk prices by ₹2-4 per liter with effect from Thursday (Nov 12, 2026) due to rising input costs, sources said.

Mother Dairy, the largest milk supplier in Delhi-NCR, last hiked prices on 14 May 2026. Prior to that, a price revision was done in April 2025.

According to sources, Mother Dairy has revised the consumer prices of its liquid milk variants by ₹2-4 per liter with effect from November 12.

A spokesman for Mother Dairy declined to comment.

Sources said purchase prices of milk from farmers have increased, forcing the company to partially pass on the increase in input costs to consumers.

Mother Dairy passes on 75-80% of realized milk sales to farmers.

It sells around 35 lakh liters of milk daily in the Delhi-NCR market through its own stores, general trading platforms and e-commerce platforms.

In total, more than 50 million liters are sold per day.

In NCR, the price of toned milk (over the counter) has increased to ₹60 from ₹58 per litre.

Whole milk (pouched) will now cost ₹76 per liter from ₹72.

The price of toned milk (bagged) has been increased to ₹62 per liter from ₹60 per litre.

Two tone milk will cost ₹56 per liter from ₹54 per litre.

Cow milk prices increased to ₹65 per liter from ₹62 per litre.

Mother Dairy posted a 17% growth in its turnover to ₹ 20,300 crore last fiscal due to increased demand for dairy products and cooking oils.

Mother Dairy was commissioned in 1974 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).

The company sells milk and milk products under the brand ‘Mother Dairy’. It sells edible oils under the brand ‘Dhara’. Fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen vegetables, snacks, pulps and concentrates are sold under the “Safal” brand.
