Amul is a leading milk supplier to the national capital region with sales of 2.3 million litre of packaged milk per day. Mother Dairy sells more than 3 million litre per day in Delhi-NCR including packaged and loose (token) milk through vending machine.

Asked about other markets, Sodhi said the prices in Mumbai have already been increased a week-ago.
