After vegetables, now milk will also pinch consumers, as Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, which markets dairy products under the brand Amul, on Tuesday announced a pan-India hike in milk prices by up to Rs 2 a litre.

"We have increased prices of our various brands by Re 1 to Rs 1, which will come in to effect from December 30 in Gujarat and Delhi and by January 3 in other parts of the country," Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) managing director R S Sodhi said.

"Prices of our Gold and Shakti brand will be hiked by Rs 2 per litre and Tazza and Slim and Trim by Re 1," he said.

Post the hike, price of Amul-Gold will be Rs 34 per litre in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and in a few districts of Gujarat, prices of its Shakti brand shall be Rs 30, Taaza Rs 25 per litre and Slim and Trim Rs 23 per litre.

"In Mumbai, the prices of our Taaza brand shall only be increased by Re 1 per litre, as the price of Gold is already ruling at Rs 34 per litre," he said.

"In Kolkata, we are hiking the prices of Gold by Rs 2 and Re 1 of Taaza brand respectively from January 3," Sodhi said.

This is the third time in the year when milk prices have been hiked by the GCMMF, the largest milk producer in Gujarat. Earlier, the federation had hiked milk prices in February and July this year.

"We had to increase the milk prices as the dairy farmers have been reeling under the burden of inflation. The prices of feedstock, labour, fuel, including gas, have all gone up," Sodhi said.

GCMMF supplies over 27 to 29 lakh litres of milk per day under the brand Amul in all the three metropolitan cities of New Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai.
