Consumers in Bengaluru will have to shell out more for several Nandini dairy products, including paneer, ghee and butter, following a price revision announced by the Bengaluru Milk Union (BAMUL). The revised rates, which also cover Trupti milk, came into effect on November 4.

Nandini ghee new prices The prices of Nandini ghee have been revised across sachets, PET jars and tins. A 200-ml sachet of ghee will now retail at ₹95, while the 500-ml pack has been priced at ₹425. Consumers purchasing a one-litre sachet will have to pay ₹850, according to PTI. For ghee sold in PET jars, the revised rates are ₹65 for 50 ml, ₹100 for 100 ml, ₹180 for 200 ml, ₹435 for 500 ml and ₹870 for one litre. The five-litre PET jar will cost ₹4,250.

Karnataka Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Chalavadi Narayanaswamy accused the Congress government of “blackmailing and cheating” farmers and consumers over the recent hike in Nandini milk prices. He alleged that the Siddaramaiah-led administration had cited farmers’ welfare to justify the increase while failing to honour its poll promises on subsidies. Karnataka LoP hits out at Congress govt over Nandini milk price hike Questioning the government’s decision to raise milk prices by ₹8 per litre, the senior BJP leader alleged that the increase was presented as a measure to benefit dairy farmers, with ₹1 going to the milk society and ₹7 being passed on to farmers. “The Congress has very cleverly played its card by announcing that it will increase the price by only ₹8, of which Re 1 will go to the society, and ₹7 will be given to farmers. In another way, you have increased the price by ₹13. How much of that amount are you going to give to the farmers?” Narayanaswamy questioned, as per ANI. He further accused the state government of using the price revision to put pressure on farmers while questioning its approach to governance. “This is nothing but blackmail. You are blackmailing the farmers of this country and the state. What kind of administration is this? You are cheating the farmers as well.” Narayanaswamy also criticised the Congress government over its election manifesto commitments, contrasting the ruling party’s promise of a ₹7 subsidy with the ₹5 subsidy announced by the previous government. “We announced a subsidy of ₹5, whereas your manifesto promised ₹7. Where is that promise now? Is this not cheating the public? As a result, farmers and the general public are angry with this government,” he said. Warning of an escalation in the opposition’s response, Narayanaswamy said the BJP would organise protests against the revised milk prices. “We are going to protest against these price hikes,” he added.
