This is the fourth round of hike in milk prices this year by Mother Dairy, one of the leading milk suppliers in Delhi-NCR with volumes of more than 30 lakh litres per day. Mother Dairy attributed the hike in prices to increase in its procurement cost of raw milk from dairy farmers.
“This year, the entire dairy industry is witnessing a huge gap in the demand and supply of milk,” the spokesperson added. The availability of raw milk has been impacted due to the increased cost of feed and fodder, and erratic monsoon, putting a stress on prices of raw milk, the company said.

Moreover, Mother Dairy said the demand for processed milk has gone up. “The ongoing mismatch in the demand-supply, even after the festive season, has further led to firming of raw milk prices. We are therefore constrained to partially pass on the impact with revision in consumer prices of certain variants,” the spokesperson said.
