Mother Dairy currently sells 35 lakh liters of fresh milk per day in Delhi-NCR. The company last changed the prices of its liquid milk in February 2023. The company said, “Despite paying higher prices for the purchase of milk in the last few months, consumer prices have been kept unchanged. Apart from this, the heat has been extreme across the country and this is likely to further affect milk production. According to Mother Dairy, it spends an average of 75-80 percent of the income from milk sales on procurement. This helps in ensuring the continuity of ‘dairy farming’ and availability of quality milk.
