In yet another major hit to the pockets of the common man in India, the rates of Amul Milk have been raised in several major states across the country. As per the revised rates, the prices have been hiked by Rs 2 per litre in many metropolitan cities.
According to the latest updates, the price of Amul Doodh has been raised by Rs 2 per litre across various states such as Delhi, Gujarat, and West Bengal. Due to the current rise in prices in Amul, it is likely that other milk brands will also increase their rates.
The current price rise in Amul Milk will be implemented across places like Gujarat, Delhi, West Bengal, and other national capital regions. Prices of Amul's Gold, Shakti, and Taaza milk brands increased by Rs 2 per litre, according to the authorities.
The new price of Amul Gold 500 grams is Rs 31 while the new price of Amul fresh 500 grams is 25 rupees. The new price of Amul Shakti Milk for 500 grams is 28 rupees, as per the revised rates.
