# Mother Dairy hikes milk prices Rs 2 to 4 per litre from 12 November 2026-11-11T06:27:39+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets (4 source reports) Mother Dairy has raised milk prices by Rs 2 to 4 per litre from Thursday, 12 November 2026, citing higher procurement costs. The company, the largest milk supplier in Delhi-NCR, last increased prices on 14 May 2026. A Mother Dairy spokesperson declined to comment. In the NCR region, full cream milk (pouched) now costs Rs 76 per litre from Rs 72, toned milk (pouched) rises to Rs 62 from Rs 60, and cow milk increases to Rs 65 from Rs 62. The company passes on 75 to 80 per cent of milk sales realisation to farmers and sells over 50 lakh litres daily. Mother Dairy achieved a 17 per cent turnover growth to Rs 20,300 crore in FY2025-26. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets, The Economic Times, India TV, and Business Standard, report the same facts from identical sources, using wire-copy style neutral-report framing. Each leads with the price hike, attributes the reason to rising procurement costs, notes that the company declined to comment, and lists the revised per-litre rates. Differences are cosmetic: India TV adds a festive-season mention absent from the others. The coverage is uniform, with no editorial slant. The implication is that Mother Dairy's pass-through of input costs, while a routine adjustment, affects household budgets directly, the next check will be whether other dairies follow in November 2026 or the coming weeks. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - Syndicated copy - economictimes.indiatimes.com Straight wire-copy reporting with no slant - business-standard.com Identical wire copy, auto-generated from syndicated feed - indiatvnews.com (neutral report) Wire-copy style, adds festive-season context This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
