Mother Dairy is set to increase the prices of its liquid milk variants in the Delhi-NCR market by ₹2 to ₹4 per litre from Thursday, November 12, 2026, according to a report by Business Standard citing sources. The revision is expected to raise household spending on a daily essential across the region.
The reported increase follows higher milk procurement costs paid to farmers. Mother Dairy has not issued a public spokesperson comment on the latest revision, according to the report, so consumers should check the updated rate displayed on product packs and official sales channels from the effective date.
Why are milk prices increasing?
Sources cited in the report said procurement prices have increased, prompting the company to pass on part of the additional input cost to consumers. Mother Dairy says it typically passes on around 75–80 per cent of its milk sales realisation to farmers.
The company sells around 35 lakh litres of milk each day in the Delhi-NCR market and more than 50 lakh litres daily across its overall operations, according to the report.
What consumers should know
- The reported revision is ₹2–₹4 per litre.
- It is scheduled to take effect on November 12, 2026.
- The report concerns liquid milk variants in Delhi-NCR.
- Variant-wise revised prices should be confirmed from current company listings or retail packs; a complete new price chart was not available in the source material reviewed.
Milk is a regular purchase for many households, so the increase may add to monthly grocery costs. The final impact will depend on the variant and quantity purchased.
