In short

Mother Dairy has increased milk prices by ₹2-4 per litre from Thursday.

The company raised prices because it is paying more to buy milk from farmers. That means consumers will now pay more for milk.

What the reporting says

Mother Dairy has raised milk prices by ₹2-4 per litre, effective Thursday, after higher procurement costs from farmers increased its input costs. The price increase will directly affect household milk bills and could add to food inflation pressure.

Why it matters

Mother Dairy’s milk price increase takes effect Thursday after the company faced higher procurement prices from farmers. The company is passing part of the higher input cost on to consumers. The change matters for households that buy packaged milk and for the broader food-price picture, since dairy products are a common daily expense.
