Milk Prices to Rise by Rs 4 Per Litre in Maharashtra From November 16; Check Details
Pune, 13th November 2026: Consumers in Maharashtra will have to pay more for milk from Monday, November 16, as the Milk Producers and Processors Welfare Association has decided to increase the retail prices of cow and buffalo milk by ₹4 per litre.
The association has also decided to increase the prices of dairy products by up to 10%. The decision was taken at a meeting of the association’s members held on Friday, November 13, at the Pune District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union Limited (Katraj Dairy) in Katraj, Pune.
The meeting was chaired by association president Gopalrao Mhaske, during which members reviewed the rising operational costs in the dairy industry and approved the price revision.
According to the association, the increase in diesel prices, transportation charges, sugar prices, packaging material costs and labour expenses has put additional financial pressure on milk processing and distribution businesses. The procurement prices paid to milk producers have also increased, further raising operating costs.
The association noted that milk procurement prices could rise further in the coming months. Considering these factors, members decided to revise retail milk prices to manage the increasing costs.
The meeting was attended by Katraj Dairy Chairman Arun Chambhare, Milk Producers and Processors Welfare Association Honorary Secretary Prakash Kutwal and around 50 representatives of major cooperative and private dairy organisations from across Maharashtra.
The revised prices will come into effect from November 16.
Key highlights:
Cow milk: ₹4 per litre increase.
Buffalo milk: ₹4 per litre increase.
Dairy products: Price increase of up to 10%.
Effective date: November 16, 2026.
