There may be another shock amidst the rising inflation rate across the country. Milk prices are going to increase. Milk is going to become costlier by around Rs 8 to Rs 12 per liter. This decision can be approved by the government today itself. The milk producers union in Karnataka was demanding this for a long time. The union people had also met Chief Minister DK Shivkumar regarding this matter. Now the news is that a decision on this can be taken in the cabinet meeting today, Tuesday, October 6.
If milk prices increase, it will directly impact the common people. The kitchen budget of middle class families can definitely increase. The reason is that milk is an important part of the diet of Indian families.
Demand of 16 cooperative unions
The unions have urged the state government to increase the procurement and retail prices of Nandini milk by Rs 8 to 10 per litre.
16 cooperative milk unions under Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) have demanded an increase in the price of milk. Officials of the unions say that the price of animal feed is also increasing and purchasing milk from milk producing farmers is also becoming expensive.
In such a situation, all the unions have requested the state government to give government approval for increasing the milk prices, so that the additional burden on dairy farmers and unions can be reduced.
Dairy products will also be expensive
Due to increase in milk prices, there is a possibility of increase in the prices of curd, cheese, ghee and other dairy products. If this happens, cheese, curd, ghee etc. will definitely become expensive. Due to this, prices of dishes made from paneer, lassi, buttermilk and ghee based sweets may also increase in hotels.
