Mother Dairy Milk Price Hike: Full Cream Rs 76 a Litre in Delhi-NCR

Mother Dairy has raised the price of its liquid milk by Rs 2 to Rs 4 a litre in Delhi-NCR with effect from Thursday, 12 November 2026. Full cream milk now costs Rs 76 a litre, up from Rs 72, according to a company spokesperson quoted by ANI and the Press Trust of India. The company blamed higher fodder and feed costs after an uneven monsoon.

New Rates Per Litre From Thursday

Full cream and Pro milk go from Rs 72 to Rs 76. Cow milk rises by Rs 3, from Rs 62 to Rs 65. Toned milk moves from Rs 60 to Rs 62, double toned milk from Rs 54 to Rs 56, and bulk vended “token” milk from Rs 58 to Rs 60. A family buying one litre of full cream milk daily will pay about Rs 120 more a month. Households on toned milk will pay about Rs 60 more.

Fodder Up 20 Per Cent in a Year

The company said green and dry fodder prices have risen by up to 20 per cent and cattle feed by about 10 per cent over the past year, while packaging, transport and other operating costs have gone up by as much as 25 per cent. A spokesperson said 75 to 80 per cent of the money from milk sales goes to paying farmers for procurement.
