Bhubaneswar: The Odisha State Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation (OMFED) has revised milk prices upward by Rs 4 per litre, with the new rates coming into effect from today.
Under the revised pricing structure, toned milk will now be sold at Rs 54 per litre, up from Rs 50. Premium milk has increased to Rs 58 per litre, up from Rs 54. Gold Premium milk will cost Rs 60 per litre, up from Rs 56, while Gold Premium Plus milk has been raised to Rs 64 per litre, up from Rs 60.
Half-litre milk packets, which previously cost Rs 27, will now be available at Rs 29.The price revision follows OMFED’s recent announcement of an increase in procurement prices for milk producers. Effective from May 1, 2026, dairy farmers will now receive Rs 39.05 per litre, up from Rs 38.05. The move is expected to directly benefit nearly three lakh dairy farmers associated with the cooperative.
OMFED officials stated that the hike in both procurement and retail prices was necessitated by the rising cost of inputs, including cattle feed, fodder, medicines, and other maintenance expenses. These increasing costs have also affected overall milk production in the state.
