The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets dairy products under the Amul brand, has announced a price hike of ₹2 per litre across all variants of Amul milk, effective from June 3, 2024. This increase is aimed at compensating farmers for the increased cost of production and sustaining remunerative milk prices to milk producers.
New Prices of Amul Milk
The revised prices for different variants of Amul milk are as follows:
- Amul Gold: The price of 500 ml of Amul Gold has increased to ₹33, while the price of one liter milk packet will rise from ₹64 to ₹66.
- Amul Buffalo Milk: The price of 500 ml of Amul buffalo milk has increased to ₹36.
- Amul Shakti: The price of 500 ml of Amul Shakti has increased to ₹30.
Impact on Consumers
The price hike translates to a range of 3-4 per cent increase in MRP, which is much lower than the average food inflation. This is the first price increase for fresh pouch milk in major markets since February 2023.

Background
The price hikes are attributed to the increase in the overall cost of operation and production of milk. The GCMMF has emphasized that it passes on almost 80 paise of every rupee paid by consumers for milk and milk products to milk producers, ensuring that the farmers receive a fair share of the revenue.
