Mumbai Milk Prices to Rise Rs 9/L From Sept 1, 2026
By Business Desk
Mumbai milk prices will increase by Rs 9 per liter from September 1, 2026, reaching Rs 102/liter wholesale due to rising feed costs.
Mumbai’s milk prices are slated for a significant hike, with rates increasing by Rs 9 per liter starting September 1, 2026, as announced by the Mumbai Milk Producers Association (MMPA).
This adjustment will elevate the wholesale price from its current Rs 93 per liter to Rs 102 per liter, remaining in effect until February 28, 2027.
Key Price Changes and Duration
- Wholesale price increase: Rs 9 per liter
- New wholesale price: Rs 102 per liter
- Effective date: September 1, 2026
- End date: February 28, 2027
The MMPA cited escalating operational costs for dairy animals and animal feed as the primary drivers behind this price revision. Ingredients such as grains, tur chuni, and chana chuni have seen price surges of up to 25%.
This move aims to provide essential relief to milk producers grappling with these higher production expenses. While these are wholesale figures, retail prices for consumers will vary based on specific suppliers and distribution networks.
