As the price hike for Nandini dairy products, including milk, curd, and buttermilk, kicked in on Tuesday, August 1, many customers were confused about the actual hike, while others were worried about expanding their weekly budget.
There was confusion among customers who purchased milk in the morning as the updated prices were mentioned only on the packets that arrived in the afternoon. “The revised milk price is confusing. I thought that the price rose by ₹3 a litre across the board, but I paid ₹48 for two half-litre packets. I had paid ₹44 for them yesterday,” said Sudarshan, a media professional.
The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) announced that the price of Nandini milk will rise by ₹3 a litre from August 1. However, the MRP of a half-litre packet has gone up by ₹2. So, those buying two half-litre packets have to pay ₹4 more. The price of the one-litre packet has increased by ₹3.
