Mumbai: Milk will become dearer in Maharashtra from 25 May, with the state government on Wednesday deciding to hike prices between Rs 2 and Rs 3 per litre.
Making an announcement here, Minister for Dairy Development and Animal Husbandry Madhukar Chavan said the price of cow/toned milk supplied by Government agencies has been increased by Rs 2 per litre, from Rs 29 to Rs 31 a litre.
Also, the price of buffalo/full cream milk has been raised by Rs 3, from Rs 37 to Rs 40 a litre, he said.
