After Mother Dairy, Amul increases milk prices by ₹2 per litre
NEW DELHI: The country's leading dairy brand - Amul - has increased the prices of its milk by ₹2 per litre, effective from Wednesday. The fresh hike by Amul comes soon after competitor Mother Dairy announced hiking milk prices by up to ₹2 per litre.
The hike by Amul will apply to several variants including Amul Standard Milk, Amul Gold, Amul Taaza, Amul Slim n Trim, Amul Cow Milk, Amul Buffalo Milk, and Amul Chai Mazza. The price adjustment comes as part of a routine market review and will be reflected across all retail outlets starting May 1, 2025, the company said.
The price of Amul Gold has risen from ₹65 to ₹67 per litre, while Slim & Trim milk now costs ₹25 per 500 ml, up from ₹ 24.
Mother Dairy attributed the price hike to ongoing extensive heatwave in the Delhi NCR region. It said that increase applies to all variants of milk, including full cream, toned, double-toned and cow milk.
"This price revision has been necessitated to address the significant increase in procurement costs, which have gone up by ₹4-5 per litre over the past few months," Mother Dairy's spokesperson said. Due to the price hike, a pouch of Mother Dairy full cream milk now costs ₹69 per litre as compared to its earlier price of ₹68 per litre.
The price hike is unlikely to impact demand for milk or dairy products as Amul Managing Director, Jayen Mehta informed that the company's turnover for FY25 stood at ₹ 66,000 crore and is expected to hit ₹1 lakh crore mark in FY25.

The recent feud between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has made headlines around the world. Everyone is sharing opinions as well as memes on the topic, with numerous posts going viral on social media. Popular Indian dairy brand Amul decided to jump on the bandwagon and share its take on the "feud" too. It released a special illustration for the occasion featuring both parties involved. The topical shows the President seated at what seems to be his desk at the Oval Office in the White House. Elon's figure is standing next to him with folded arms. Both wear rather serious expressions. Also Read: Amul's Fun Take On Ed Sheeran's Unplugged Bengaluru Moment As usual, Amul injects humour into the situation through wordplay. "What goes up Musk come down," reads the punny text on top. The line at the bottom declares, "Amul. The X Factor," which can be interpreted on multiple levels. For instance, Elon Musk owns both X (formerly Twitter) and SpaceX - both of which have been cited multiple times in the context of his disagreement with Trump. The caption of the post reads, "#Amul Topical: President of USA and billionaire/Tesla owner have a feud!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Amul - The Taste of India (@amul_india) Before this, Amul had shared another topical depicting Trump and Musk. This was just after the President had won the election and had announced that Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency. The topical shows Trump leaning against a desk behind which Elon Musk is sitting. Trump holds up a single finger, partly covered in butter. Musk holds up a buttered slice of bread. The text on top of the illustration reads, "Mujhe Muska Do Ge?" There are at least two instances of wordplay here. Click here to read more.

"Dream 'Railized'": Amul's Chenab Bridge Topical Gets Minister's Response
Dairy giant Amul has paid a creative tribute to the recently inaugurated Chenab Bridge, the world's highest railway arch bridge. The special print advertisement features Amul's iconic blue-haired girl standing at the Chenab Bridge site. The ad carried a witty caption: "A Dream Railized" - a clever wordplay combining 'rail' and 'realized.' The tagline read, "Amul, ticket to great taste." Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared the topical on X, saying, "Thank you, Amul." Thank you Amul. — Ashwini Vaishnaw (@AshwiniVaishnaw) June 8, 2025 The Chenab Bridge, located in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district, was inaugurated on June 6 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Key dignitaries, including Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, and Ashwini Vaishnaw, were present during the ceremony. Prior to the inauguration, the Prime Minister also inspected the massive railway arch bridge. The Chenab Bridge is a crucial part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project, designed to connect the Kashmir Valley with the rest of India through an all-weather rail network. Located in the Reasi district, the bridge stands at a height of 359 metres above the riverbed and spans 1.3 kilometres. The bridge is expected to drastically reduce travel time in the region, with trains like the Vande Bharat Express set to run along the route. Construction began in 2017, overcoming daunting challenges posed by the region's difficult Himalayan terrain, seismic sensitivity, and harsh weather. Built with over 30,000 tonnes of steel, the bridge is engineered to withstand high winds of up to 260 kmph and even explosions. A key contributor to the project's success is Professor G Madhavi Latha. She is a professor at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, and worked as a geotechnical consultant on the project for 17 years. She collaborated closely with Afcons, the bridge's contractor, helping with planning, design, and construction, especially in overcoming the challenges posed by the difficult terrain.
