From October 1, the price of milk in Indore will rise to ₹65 per litre, up from ₹62, after the local sellers’ association cited higher animal‑feed and transport expenses.
Indore residents will have to pay ₹65 for each litre of milk starting October 1, a three‑rupee increase from the current ₹62 rate. The hike was announced by the city’s milk sellers’ association and will apply to all retail outlets.
The association said the decision was driven by rising costs of animal feed and transportation, which have squeezed profit margins for dairy traders. By adjusting the retail price, sellers aim to offset these input cost pressures without compromising supply.
Consumers are expected to feel the impact immediately, as milk is a staple in many households. The price change reflects a broader trend of increasing commodity costs across the dairy sector in central India.
