Amul hikes milk prices by Rs 2/litre from today
Ahmedabad/NEW DELHI: Amul milk prices will increase by Rs 2 per litre across all variants from May 1, 2025, due to higher input costs in production.

The federation, which markets dairy products under the Amul brand, noted that this is the first price increase since June 2024. Following the hike, the price of a 500ml pouch of Amul Gold will be Rs 34, while the 1-litre pouch will cost Rs 67 in Gujarat.
