Mother Dairy, the largest milk supplier in Delhi-NCR, is raising the price of its milk by ₹2 to ₹4 a litre from Thursday, November 12, The Hindu and PTI reported, citing sources. A company spokesperson declined to comment.
The increase follows a rise in the prices paid to farmers for milk, which the company is partly passing on to consumers, the sources said.
