The Karnataka government will lift the retail price of milk by Rs 8 per litre starting November 1, citing rising production costs and inflation.
The state government announced that the price of milk sold by government dairies will increase by Rs 8 per litre from 1 November. The move comes as the dairy sector faces higher feed and transport costs, and inflation has pushed up the cost of raw materials. Dairy farmers have expressed concerns that the hike may affect their income, but officials say the increase will help balance the price equation and ensure a steady supply.
The price revision will apply to all milk varieties sold through the state’s dairy cooperatives and private retailers that source from government dairies. The decision follows a review of the dairy price list conducted by the Karnataka Dairy Development Board.
Consumers are expected to see the change reflected in milk cartons and retail outlets across the state. The government has assured that the rise will be monitored to avoid excessive burden on households.
