Karnataka Cabinet Approves ₹8 Hike in Nandini Milk Prices, Effective from November 1

Yes, milk prices are going to go up soon. The hike in milk prices will not be Rs 1 - Rs 2, but Rs 8. The Karnataka cabinet on Tuesday approved a proposal to hike the prices of Nandini milk by Rs 8 per litre. However, the hike is not being announced due to the model code of conduct (MCC) in force for the Legislative Council elections. The Karnataka government will seek approval from the Election Commission before implementing the hike in milk prices. A final decision on this is expected in the next meeting of the Karnataka cabinet. According to sources, the hike in Nandini milk prices in Karnataka is likely to come into effect from November 1 next month and the final limit of the hike will be decided by Chief Minister Shivakumar. Let us tell you that the milk cooperative unions of Karnataka had last month urged the state government to increase the procurement and retail prices of Nandini milk by Rs 8 per litre.
