Milk Prices Increased In Indore From October 1
Milk prices in Indore are set to increase from October 1, with consumers paying ₹3 more per litre than the existing rate. Under the revised milk pricing system, milk sold through dairies and retail shops will cost ₹68 per litre.
The new milk rates have been fixed according to the fat content of milk. The revised pricing will apply to milk with 5.5 to 6% fat content.
Higher Payment For Milk Producers
The increase in Indore milk prices is linked to a rise in payments made to farmers supplying milk. Under the new arrangement, milk producers will receive an additional 33 paise per fat.
The payment to milk farmers is calculated according to the amount of fat present in the milk. Officials said the revised milk rates will help provide better returns to producers while adjusting consumer prices in line with the increased procurement cost.

With the added delivery fee, the milk price for doorstep delivery will increase to ₹69 per litre. The additional charge has been introduced to cover the cost of home delivery services.
