The state‑run Nandini brand has lifted the retail price of its curd, prompting a fresh price shock among Karnataka households.
The Karnataka government‑owned dairy brand Nandini has announced a higher retail price for its curd, a staple in many Indian households. The price revision was reflected in recent market listings, leading to a noticeable increase in the cost paid by consumers.
The hike has been described as a fresh price shock, as families that rely on Nandini curd for daily nutrition now face higher grocery bills. Consumer forums and social media groups in the state have begun sharing the updated rates, highlighting the immediate impact on household budgets.
Economists note that the increase comes at a time when food inflation remains elevated across the country, putting additional pressure on low‑ and middle‑income families. While the dairy board has not disclosed specific reasons, higher procurement and processing costs are commonly cited factors in similar price adjustments.
News18 has compiled the latest price points for Nandini curd, allowing shoppers to compare the new rates with previous levels. The platform advises consumers to monitor further announcements from the Karnataka Milk Federation for any additional changes.
The dairy board is expected to review the pricing policy periodically, balancing cost recovery with affordability for the state's large consumer base.
