Here are details of the price hike, as paid out by the milk supplier:
The move comes just as India prepares for the summer seasons, with predictions of heatwave-like conditions across several parts of the country. Weather office IMD has predicted above-normal precipitation in the coming monsoon season.
Timely monsoon rains support much of the country’s irrigation requirements for its crucial agriculture sector, and drive consumption in the rural economy.
The higher milk rates in the markets follow an official reading showing domestic consumer inflation easing to 3.34 per cent in March from 3.61 per cent in the previous month, days after the RBI cut its annual inflation projection by 20 basis points to 4.0 per cent while announcing a reduction of 25 basis points in the repo rate as widely expected.
