The Karnataka government has increased the price of Nandini milk by ₹8 per litre, sparking criticism from the BJP and concerns over rising food costs among hotel operators.
The Karnataka government announced a price hike for Nandini milk, raising the cost by ₹8 per litre. The decision, aimed at addressing rising production costs, will take effect from next month.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) immediately condemned the move, accusing the ruling party of exploiting consumers. Party spokespersons urged the government to reconsider the increase and explore alternative solutions.
Hotel operators across the state also voiced their concerns, warning that higher dairy prices could push overall food costs upward. They called for a balanced approach that protects both producers and consumers.
Nandini, a state‑run dairy brand, has been a staple in Karnataka households for decades. The price adjustment follows a trend of rising input costs, but critics argue it may strain low‑income families and small businesses.
