Verka has increased the prices of its full cream, standard and double-toned milk packets by ₹1 to ₹8, adding to the burden on consumers. The revised rates will come into effect from the morning of November 13, 2026.

The price hike comes a day after Amul and Mother Dairy increased their milk prices by ₹2 to ₹4 per litre, effective November 12, 2026.

According to the revised price list, the price of a 500 ml packet of double-toned milk (DTM) has been increased from ₹27 to ₹28, while the 500 ml standard milk packet will now cost ₹35 instead of ₹33. Similarly, the price of 500 ml full cream milk has been raised from ₹36 to ₹38.

The revised prices for larger packs have also been announced. The one-litre standard milk packet will now cost ₹69, up from ₹65, while the price of one-litre full cream milk has increased from ₹72 to ₹76.

For two-litre packs, the price of standard milk has been revised from ₹128 to ₹136, while full cream milk will now cost ₹150 instead of ₹142.

Verka management has clarified that old packaging material, including polythene film carrying the previous prices, is still available in stock. Therefore, milk packets may continue to display the old printed prices until the existing packaging stock is exhausted.

However, consumers will have to pay according to the revised price list, even if the packets carry the old prices.

To avoid confusion and inconvenience, all dealers and distributors have been instructed to display the updated price list at their shops so that customers are clearly informed about the revised rates.
