Mother Dairy Milk Price Hike will make daily milk purchases more expensive for consumers from November 12, 2026.
The company has increased prices of its liquid milk variants by Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre in the Delhi-NCR market, citing higher milk procurement costs.
The revised prices will affect full cream, toned, double toned and cow milk. For households that regularly purchase milk, the increase could add to monthly grocery expenses, particularly for families with higher daily consumption.
The latest revision comes around six months after Mother Dairy’s previous milk price increase in May 2026.
Mother Dairy Milk Price Hike: Check New Rates
Mother Dairy has revised prices across five liquid milk categories in the Delhi-NCR region. The new rates will come into effect on Thursday, November 12.
The revised prices are:
Full cream milk (pouched): Rs 76 per litre, up from Rs 72.
Toned milk (pouched): Rs 62 per litre, up from Rs 60.
Toned milk (bulk vended): Rs 60 per litre, up from Rs 58.
Double toned milk: Rs 56 per litre, up from Rs 54.
Cow milk: Rs 65 per litre, up from Rs 62.
Full cream milk has recorded the biggest increase of Rs 4 per litre. Cow milk has become costlier by Rs 3, while the other listed variants have seen an increase of Rs 2 per litre.
Consumers should check the updated rates at their local Mother Dairy outlets and authorised delivery platforms after the revised prices take effect.
 Why Has Mother Dairy Increased Milk Prices?
The latest price revision comes amid an increase in the cost of procuring milk from farmers.
According to sources cited in reports, higher procurement prices have increased the company’s input expenses. Mother Dairy has decided to pass on part of this additional cost to consumers.
The company reportedly passes on around 75 to 80 per cent of its milk sales realisation to farmers. Higher payments for milk procurement therefore have a direct impact on its overall operating costs.
Other expenses associated with processing, transportation and distribution also form part of the dairy industry’s cost structure.
 How Much Will the Milk Price Increase Affect Household Budgets?
Even a small increase in the price of a daily essential can affect household spending over time.
For example, a family purchasing one litre of full cream milk every day will now spend Rs 4 more daily. This translates into an additional Rs 120 over 30 days.
Similarly, households purchasing two litres of toned milk daily will pay Rs 4 more per day, resulting in an additional monthly expense of approximately Rs 120.
The actual increase in household spending will depend on the type of milk purchased and the quantity consumed every day.
The revised rates may also increase operating expenses for businesses such as tea shops, restaurants and food outlets that depend on regular milk supplies.
Mother Dairy’s Previous Milk Price Revision
Mother Dairy last increased its milk prices on May 14, 2026. Before that, the company had revised its rates in April 2025.
The November revision is therefore the company’s second milk price increase in 2026.
The latest development comes amid broader price adjustments in India’s dairy sector.
Karnataka Milk Federation, which sells products under the Nandini brand, has also revised prices of milk and other dairy products.
Meanwhile, Amul has increased prices of selected dairy products, including butter and ghee.
These developments reflect the pressure that higher procurement and other input costs can place on dairy companies.
 How Much Milk Does Mother Dairy Sell Daily?
Mother Dairy is one of the largest milk suppliers in the Delhi-NCR region.
The company sells approximately 35 lakh litres of milk every day in the region through its own outlets, general trade and e-commerce platforms.
Its overall daily milk sales exceed 50 lakh litres across its markets.
Established in 1974, Mother Dairy is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).
Apart from milk and dairy products, the company also operates in edible oils under the Dhara brand and fresh fruits and vegetables under the Safal brand.
With the revised prices taking effect on November 12, consumers in Delhi-NCR will need to account for the higher rates when purchasing their regular milk supplies.
