Mother Milk Milk is expensive with up to £ 2/liter

New -Delhi, April 30 (PTI) The leading milk supplier Mother Dairy has raised milk prices by up to £ 2 a liter to partially compensate rising input costs. The prices were raised in all markets where the business has a presence. Mother Dairy sells about 35 lakh liter milk per day in the Delhi-NCR market through its own outlets, general trade and e-commerce platforms. It also has presence in other countries, including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Uttarakhand and Bihar. Mother Dairy argued that it was forced to raise milk prices for consumers due to the increase in the acquisition costs of milk of dairy farmers. “This price review is forced to address the significant increase in the acquisition costs, which has risen by £ 4-5 per liter over the past few months,” an mother-dairy official said late Tuesday. The boom in the acquisition costs is mainly due to the early onset of summer and heatwave conditions, the official said. This review is only a partial passage of the increased cost, with the aim of serving the interests of both farmers and consumers fairly, the official added. Mother Dairy surrenders 70-80 percent of his retail prices to dairy farmers. In Delhi-NCR, the prices of tinted milk (bulk) rose to £ 56 a liter from £ 54 per liter earlier. The rates of complete milk (placed) and tinted milk (placed) were increased by £ 1 per liter to £ 69 per liter and £ 57 per liter. Double -colored milk became more expensive with £ 2 a liter to £ 51 a liter. Cow’s prices were raised to £ 59 per liter of £ 57 per liter. In small packs of 500 ml, Mother Dairy raised prices by £ 1 per liter for full ice cream, tinted, double -colored and cow’s milk. Half-liter-full-cream milk costs £ 35, tinted milk £ 29, double-colored £ 26 and cow milk £ 30. Mother Dairy has 9 dairy processing plants with a total capacity of more than 50 lakh liter per day. It manufactures, markets and sells dairy and milk products, including cultivated products, ice cream, pane, ghee, etc. Under the ‘Mother Dairy’ brand. The company also has a diversified portfolio with products in edible oils under the ‘Dhara’ brand and fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen vegetables and snacks, unpolished pulses, pulps and concentrates, etc. Under the ‘Safal’ brand.
