The consumer price of Nandini brand milk being sold by the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) is set to go up by ₹ 3 a litre from August 1, as the government has given its consent for the rise at a meeting on Friday, according to KMF president Bheema Naik.
A formal notification regarding the increase in sale prices would be issued after a clearance from the State Cabinet, he said, adding that the decision was aimed to strengthen the co-operative dairy sector that is reeling under distress.
The meeting on Friday was attended by representatives of KMF, presidents and directors of district milk co-operatives and senior officials and convened by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
