Karnataka Milk Federation implements price hikes on dairy products

The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) and the Bengaluru Milk Union (BAMUL) have implemented several price increases for dairy products. Following a recent hike in milk prices by Rs 8 per litre and curd prices by Rs 14 per litre, BAMUL has revised the retail prices for Nandini ghee, butter, paneer, and Trupti milk, effective November 4.

New pricing for Nandini ghee includes Rs 850 for a one-litre sachet and Rs 870 for a one-litre PET jar. Salted butter is now priced at Rs 90 for 100 grams, while unsalted butter is Rs 160 for 200 grams. Paneer prices have also been adjusted, with a one-kg pack costing Rs 485.

Despite these increases, Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has requested a reduction in the price of Nandini curd by Rs 2 per litre. KMF officials stated they are awaiting official communication from the Chief Minister’s office before the board discusses and decides on a potential price cut for curd.
