Milk and curd are daily essentials. Whether it is for morning tea or an evening snack, they are required in almost every household. Consequently, any increase in the prices of milk and curd directly impacts the household budget.
In Karnataka, the prices of ‘Nandini’ brand milk and curd have now been increased.
The new rates set by the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) have come into effect today, November 1, 2026. The prices for certain varieties of milk have risen by ₹8 to ₹12 per litre, while the price of a 1 kg packet of curd has increased from ₹54 to ₹68—meaning consumers will now have to pay ₹14 more to purchase curd. Let’s take a look at the new price list for milk and curd.
What are the new milk prices?
Prices for various types of Nandini milk have been revised. The most widely consumed ‘blue packet’ toned milk has seen its price increase from ₹46 to ₹54 per litre. Meanwhile, ‘Special Toned’ and ‘Shubham’ milk will now be priced at ₹64 per litre.
Milk Variety | Old Price | New Price
- Toned Milk | ₹46/litre | ₹54/litre
- Homogenised Toned Milk | ₹47/litre | ₹56/litre
- Homogenised Cow Milk | ₹50/litre | ₹58/litre
- Special Toned Milk | ₹52/litre | ₹64/litre
- Shubham Milk | ₹52/litre | ₹64/litre
- Homogenised Shubham Milk | ₹53/litre | ₹65/litre
What is the price for 1 kg of curd?
Along with milk, the prices of Nandini curd have also been raised. A 500-gram (half-kg) packet of curd will now cost ₹34, up from the previous price of ₹28. Meanwhile, the price of a one-kilogram packet of curd has increased from ₹54 to ₹68.
This means that consumers will now have to spend an additional ₹6 for half a kilogram of curd and ₹14 for one kilogram of curd.
Why were the prices of milk and curd increased?
The Karnataka government and the KMF (Karnataka Milk Federation) state that the decision to raise milk prices was taken to provide relief to dairy farmers. Farmers’ costs have risen due to drought-like conditions in the state, the increasing price of cattle feed, and a decline in milk production.
According to the government’s decision, out of the ₹8 per litre increase in milk prices, ₹7 will go directly to the farmers. The remaining ₹1 will be allocated to milk unions to cover expenses such as packaging, transportation, and other operational costs. The government asserts that ensuring better prices for farmers will help sustain milk production and the dairy business. However, for consumers, this translates into higher daily expenditure on milk and curd.
