Mumbai milk wholesale price rises by ₹9 per litre from September 1

The Bombay Milk Producers Association raised the wholesale price of milk by ₹9 per litre in Mumbai from September 1, taking the rate from ₹93 to ₹102 per litre. The revised price is scheduled to remain fixed until February 28, 2027.

The association has attributed the increase to higher operational costs, including expenses related to feed, transport and maintenance. The change applies to the wholesale rate; retail prices are expected to rise accordingly.

The increase is expected to affect consumers as well as businesses that rely on milk and milk-based products. The impact could be felt in household purchases and in the prices of dairy-based products sold by businesses.

The revised rate comes ahead of the festive season, when households and businesses may purchase milk and dairy products for preparations and sales. The research information does not specify the new retail price or how much individual retailers will add to the wholesale increase.

What changes from September 1

• Wholesale milk price: ₹102 per litre
• Increase: ₹9 per litre
• Earlier wholesale price: ₹93 per litre

Consumers will need to check prices with individual retailers, as the available information only confirms the association’s revised wholesale rate. Businesses using milk as an input may also review their prices after the wholesale increase, though the extent of any changes has not been specified.
