Price of milk: After voting for the Lok Sabha elections, the common man has come under the grip of inflation. The country's leading milk selling company Amul has increased the price of milk. Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) has announced an increase of Rs 2 per liter in the price of milk. This will affect the daily life of the people. Earlier, Bhatsal had increased the price of milk by Rs 2 per liter, due to which the price of a liter of Amul milk will increase by Rs 2 per liter across the country.
The last time GCMMF increased the price of milk was in February 2023.
GCMMF MD Jayan Mehta said that the price of all types of Amul milk has been increased by Rs 2 per liter from June 3. Actually, GCMMF markets milk and dairy products under the 'Amul' brand. The last time GCMMF increased the price of milk was in February 2023.
The price of 500 ml Amul Gold milk has been increased to Rs 33 and the price of 500 ml Amul Shakti has been increased to Rs 30.
Mehta said the hike is necessary to compensate farmers for their increased production cost. With the latest hike, 500 ml Amul buffalo milk has become Rs 36, 500 ml Amul Gold milk Rs 33 and 500 ml Amul Shakti Rs 30.
'An increase of Rs 2 per litre is equivalent to a 3-4 per cent increase in MRP'
GCMMF said in a statement, “The increase of Rs 2 per liter is equivalent to a 3-4 per cent increase in MRP, which is much lower than the average food inflation rate.” It is worth noting that since February 2023, Amul has not increased the prices of fresh pouch milk in major markets.
