From 4th July onwards residents of Delhi will have to pay more for enjoying Amul milk as GCMMF has decided to raise the retail prices of milk in Delhi and in Gujarat.
Full cream milk, sold under the brand name Amul Gold, will get costlier by Rs 2 per litre at Rs 32 per litre as against the current price of Rs 30 per litre.
In Gujarat prices of toned milk and double toned milk will be increased by Rs 1 per litre and full cream and standardized milk prices by Rs 2 per litre. Post hike, Amul Gold will be available for Rs 30 per litre as against Rs 28 per litre at present, while Amul Shakti will be charged Rs 28 per litre from current Rs 26 per litre.
The move was necessitated in the wake of increasing input cost. GCMMF has to pay more to farmers to procure milk compared to last year.About 30 lakh farmers are part of the brand.
The 40 percent hike in the cattle-feed and the recent hike in diesel and petrol have led to this revision of Amul milk, sources said.
