Digital Desk: Mother Dairy announced on Monday that it would increase milk prices by Rs 2 per litre starting on Tuesday (December 27) in the Delhi-NCR market due to rising input costs. In a statement, Mother Dairy said it raised full-cream milk prices by Rs 2 to Rs 66 per litre, while toned milk prices were raised to Rs 53 per litre from Rs 51 per litre. On the other hand, Mother Dairy said that the price of cow milk and token milk variants has not been revised.

On the other hand, procurement of raw milk has also not picked up after Diwali as was anticipated," the company said.
