Karnataka milk prices to rise by ₹4 per litre from April 1, 2025, benefiting farmers, amid other price hikes.
Milk prices in Karnataka will increase by ₹4 per litre starting from April 1, said Cooperation Minister K.N. Rajanna on Thursday (March 27, 2025). The Minister said the price increase comes in response to the pressure from milk federations and farmers.
Addressing reporters here, he said, “The decision to hike the prices is by the milk federation, they were asking for ₹5 hike per litre, the government agreed and decided for ₹4 hike from April 1. The entire ₹4 that has been hiked should go to farmers...” The milk price revision comes in the wake of hikes in bus and metro fares, as well as power tariffs.
Earlier, Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) chairman Bheema Naik too had hinted at the possibility of a hike in the milk prices. Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) markets its dairy products under the 'Nandini' brand.
In 2024, the KMF had hiked the milk price by ₹2 per packet and increased the quantity per packet by 50ml. KMF has been maintaining that the price increase in 2024 was not a hike as the quantity of milk supplied had also increased.
At present, regular Nandini toned milk (blue packet) of 1,050 ml is priced at ₹44.
