Milk Price Hike: After the seventh and final phase of the Lok Sabha elections, people have been hit by inflation, the country’s leading milk seller company Amul has increased the price of milk. Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) has announced an increase in milk prices by up to two rupees per liter. The increased milk prices will come into effect from Monday morning, June 3. After Amul, Mother Dairy and other companies can also increase the price of milk.

GCMMF says that milk prices are being increased due to increased milk production and operational costs. Union members have also increased the price to farmers by about 6-8% in the last one year. Under the policy, Amul gives 80 paise to milk producers out of every rupee paid by consumers for milk and milk products. The increase in prices will benefit milk producers and help encourage more milk production.
