OMFED hikes milk prices by Rs 2 per litre from October 4
The Odisha State Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation (OMFED) has announced a Rs 2 per litre hike in milk prices across Odisha, effective from October 4. Toned milk will cost Rs 58 per litre, premium milk Rs 60, and Gold Premium Plus milk Rs 66 per litre, up from Rs 56, Rs 58 and Rs 64 respectively.
The increase is expected to add to household budgets already strained by rising essential commodity prices. Separately, OMFED is introducing QR codes on dairy products to allow consumers to verify production date, place, shelf life and usage instructions, a facility already available for ghee and being extended to paneer and curd.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Rs 2 per litre increase pushes OMFED's toned milk above Rs 55 for the first time in this fiscal year, directly raising monthly dairy expenditure for Odisha households already dealing with broader inflation. OMFED has not announced any subsidy or off take scheme to cushion the impact. The QR code rollout on paneer and curd remains without a published deadline, leaving consumers without a clear date for that benefit as the price rise takes effect on October 4.
