Aavin on Friday effected an upward revision of the prices of milk-based products, including ghee, skimmed milk powder, curd and badam powder. A one-litre jar of ghee will now cost ₹535 as against the previous price of ₹515; a one-litre carton of ghee is now priced at ₹530 (earlier ₹510); and 1 kg skimmed milk powder will cost ₹360 instead of ₹320. A 500 ml pack of curd will now cost ₹30. The prices of Kulfi (60 ml bar) and chocolate and vanilla cones, too, have been revised. They will now cost ₹30 each.
The Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation, whose popular brand is Aavin, matched the prices of these products with those of another cooperative, Amul. “We have not revised the price of the 100 ml pack of ghee, even though we will gain ₹2 per pack if we did. The last time that the prices were revised was in July 2020,” explained an official source in Aavin.
