The Karnataka Cabinet approved an increase of Rs 8 per litre in milk prices, taking effect on November 1, with Rs 7 of the rise allocated to milk‑producing farmers and Re 1 to dairy cooperatives. Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said the hike is intended to support farmers facing higher production costs.
The decision follows protests by milk producers and demands from cooperatives for better returns; earlier proposals had sought a Rs 10 increase. The government noted that farmers currently receive around Rs 35 per litre, which will rise to Rs 42 per litre after the revision, while a state incentive of Rs 5 per litre will continue.
