Karnataka Dairy Prices Rise: Ghee Hits ₹850, Paneer ₹485

The Karnataka government has lifted the retail price of ghee from ₹715 to ₹850, while paneer is now priced at ₹485. The move comes amid rising production costs and supply chain pressures. Consumers in the state are expected to see the impact on household budgets, particularly in rural areas where dairy products are staple items. The price hike is part of a broader strategy to balance farmer incomes with market realities. The government has urged buyers to plan purchases accordingly.
