India is experiencing a significant increase in milk prices, with costs rising by approximately 14-15% over the past 15 months, reaching around 53 rupees per liter (about US$0.64). This surge in prices is attributed to various factors, including higher feed costs, increased demand for ice cream, and a contagious cattle disease, all contributing to production challenges. As the world's leading milk producer, India's milk price hike has implications for its large consumer base and the global dairy market. The high milk prices are expected to persist until November 2023, potentially leading to consumers reducing their consumption or seeking alternative products to mitigate the impact. However, former MD of Amul, RS Sodhi, predicts a slight decrease in prices after the Diwali festival in November.

India is facing an increase in milk prices and it is not expected to decrease until November. “In the last 15 months, there has been an extraordinary increase in the price of milk and dairy products, by around 14-15%,” said RS Sodhi, former managing director of India's number one dairy company, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Foundation. The price increase is due to higher feed costs, increased demand for ice cream and a contagious cattle disease, among other factors. India, the world's leading milk producer, accounts for 22% of global milk production, followed by the US, China, Pakistan and Brazil.
