Karnataka is set to raise milk prices by Rs 8 to Rs 10 per litre. The proposal is expected to be approved at a cabinet meeting scheduled for Tuesday, 6 October 2026.

Once the cabinet clears the proposal, an official announcement on the new prices will follow. The increase will apply across milk categories, with a minimum rise of Rs 8 and a maximum of Rs 10 per litre.
The cabinet approval will also determine the exact effective date and the revised price for each category.
The proposed hike will directly hit household budgets in Karnataka, where milk is a daily essential. The cabinet meeting later today will settle the exact increase within the Rs 8 to 10 band and the date of implementation. Left unresolved is how the new prices will vary by milk category, and whether the state will offer any subsidy or relief to consumers. The formal announcement after the cabinet decision will clarify these details.
