Amul milk becomes costlier by Rs 2 per liter

According to the report of news agency PTI, Amul has increased the prices of milk by Rs 2 per liter across the country. The new prices have come into effect from May 14. This means that now customers will have to pay more for each packet than before. This increase has been implemented in all major cities and states. That means whether the customers are in Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow, Ahmedabad or any small city, they will have to buy milk as per the new rates.

Why were milk prices increased?

Although detailed reasons have not been given by the company, but dairy sector experts believe that the increasing cost of animal feed, transportation expenses and increase in production costs could be the major reasons for this. Cost pressure on the dairy industry has increased continuously in the last few months. In such a situation, companies are trying to balance their operational expenses by increasing prices.

There will be a direct impact on the domestic budget

The biggest impact of the increase in the price of milk can be seen on the middle class and big families. In households where large quantities of milk are used daily, there can be a significant increase in monthly expenses. Experts say that milk becoming expensive may also affect the prices of other products related to it. Especially the costs of small businessmen selling sweets, cheese, curd and tea-coffee may also increase.

Continuously increasing food inflation

Already, the prices of vegetables, pulses and other food items in the country are putting pressure on people's pockets. In such a situation, the cost of an essential commodity like milk is not being considered as a news of relief for the common consumers. Many consumers say that daily expenses are continuously increasing, while income is not increasing at the same pace. In such a situation, even small increases are affecting the household budget.

What will be the impact on dairy sector?

According to dairy experts, the increase in prices may provide some relief to farmers as the costs associated with milk production are continuously increasing. However, on the other hand, its burden on consumers will also be clearly visible. Now attention will be kept on whether other dairy companies also increase their prices in the coming days or not. At present, this decision of Amul has attracted the attention of both the market and consumers.
