According to Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation, the parent company of the Amul dairy brand, Amul Gold will now cost 31, Amul Taaza 25, and Amul Shakti 28 for 500 ml in Ahmedabad and Saurashtra markets.
"This price hike is being done due to an increase in an overall cost of operation and production of milk. The cattle feeding cost alone has increased to approximately 20 per cent compared to last year. Considering the rise in input costs, our member unions have also increased farmers' prices in the range of 8-9 per cent over the previous year," Amul said.
