Your morning chai just got a little more expensive. Mother Dairy has raised its liquid milk prices by ₹2 to ₹4 per litre in Delhi-NCR, effective Thursday, 12 November 2026. Full cream milk sees the biggest jump.
Mother Dairy New Milk Price List 2026 (Delhi-NCR)
The revised prices cover five variants.
| Variant | Old Price (per litre) | New Price (per litre) | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full cream (pouch) | ₹72 | ₹76 | +₹4 |
| Toned (pouch) | ₹60 | ₹62 | +₹2 |
| Toned (bulk vended/token) | ₹58 | ₹60 | +₹2 |
| Double toned | ₹54 | ₹56 | +₹2 |
| Cow milk | ₹62 | ₹65 | +₹3 |
Why Mother Dairy Increased Milk Prices Again
The company cites higher procurement costs. Mother Dairy last raised milk prices on 14 May 2026, so this is its second price hike in 2026.
Mother Dairy Price Hike: Monthly Cost Impact
These are simple examples based on a 30-day month:
- 1 litre of toned milk a day: ₹2 more a day, about ₹60 more a month
- 1 litre of full cream milk a day: ₹4 more a day, about ₹120 more a month
- 2 litres of full cream milk a day: ₹8 more a day, about ₹240 more a month
Are Milk Prices the Same in Every City?
The rates above are for Delhi-NCR. Prices in other cities can differ, so check your local outlet or app. Milk is also getting costlier elsewhere: Karnataka’s chief minister has defended an ₹8 per litre milk price hike there, saying farmers will benefit.
3 Smart Ways to Save on Milk After the Price Hike
- Compare bulk and pouch: Bulk vended (token) toned milk is ₹60 a litre against ₹62 for pouched toned milk.
- Check the variant: Toned milk is ₹14 a litre cheaper than full cream. If you use milk mainly for tea or coffee, this can add up.
- Buy what you use: Plan quantities so you don’t waste milk.
Bottom Line
A ₹2–4 rise per litre looks small, but milk is a daily purchase and it adds up over a month. Check the rates at your local Mother Dairy outlet or on the app for the exact price in your area.
