Maharashtra Raises Milk Prices by Rs 2 per Litre from Aug 11

The Maharashtra government has lifted the retail price of milk by Rs 2 per litre, a change that will take effect on 11 August. The decision follows a recent price hike in Andhra Pradesh and is aimed at addressing rising production costs. Dairy consumers across the state are expected to feel the impact as the new rates apply to all retail outlets. Officials say the increase will help balance the growing gap between input costs and the price farmers receive for their produce.
