Amul, Mother Dairy Milk Prices Increased From Today: Check Revised Rates

Vinita Bhat — Thu, 14 May 2026 16:49:47 +0530

Milk prices have gone up across several parts of India from today after dairy majors Amul and Mother Dairy announced a Rs 2 per litre increase in the prices of key liquid milk variants. The revised rates came into effect on May 14 and are expected to impact household budgets already under pressure from rising food and fuel costs. Both companies said the hike was necessary due to higher procurement, transportation and packaging expenses.

Revised Rates

Under the new pricing structure in Delhi-NCR and Uttar Pradesh, a 500 ml pack of Amul Slim will now cost Rs 27, while Amul Taaza has been priced at Rs 30. Amul Cow Milk will retail at Rs 31 and Amul Gold at Rs 36 for a 500 ml pack.

Buffalo milk prices have seen a steeper rise, increasing by Rs 4 per litre to Rs 80.

Mother Dairy has also revised prices of its liquid milk variants by Rs 2 per litre in Delhi-NCR from today.

Why Prices Have Gone Up

Amul’s parent body, the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), said rising cattle feed prices, fuel costs and packaging expenses were behind the latest revision.

The federation added that milk procurement prices paid to farmers had increased by Rs 30 per kilogram of fat over the past year, marking a 3.7 per cent rise compared to May 2025.

According to GCMMF, nearly 80 paise of every rupee spent by consumers on milk and dairy products goes directly to milk producers. The cooperative said the increase would help ensure better returns for farmers and support higher milk production.

Mother Dairy also attributed its price revision to a sharp rise in procurement costs, stating that prices paid to farmers had increased by nearly 6 per cent over the last year.

Stalin Takes Responsibility For DMK Poll Defeat, Announces Review Panel To Study Loss

PTI — Thu, 14 May 2026 15:44:58 +0530

Chennai, May 14 (PTI) DMK President M K Stalin on Thursday said he would take full responsibility for the party’s defeat in the April 23 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

He announced that a panel would be constituted to evaluate the reasons for the poll defeat and submit a report within 20 days.

Stalin also took a swipe at the AIADMK, saying his party was mature enough not to lodge its legislators in a resort.

His veiled reference was aimed at the AIADMK, which lodged its newly elected MLAs at a resort in Puducherry following the May 4 Assembly election results, in which no single party secured the required 118 seats to form the government on its own.

Addressing the party’s district secretaries at Anna Arivalayam, the DMK headquarters here, Stalin said no party had secured a majority on its own to form the government.

“The C Joseph Vijay-led government is now in power due to the support of coalition partners. They formed the government with the backing of the Left parties, VCK and IUML," the former CM said, referring to the unconditional support extended by the allies to the TVK during government formation.

“Past election results showed that whenever we lost power, we won only a very small number of seats. This time, we won 59 seats. If we add the seats secured by our allies, the tally rises to 73,” he said.

Pointing out that success and failure are part of elections, just as ups and downs are part of life, Stalin said the DMK was more mature than other parties.

“That is why, unlike other parties, we did not lodge our MLAs in resorts and star hotels out of fear, but were brave enough to face defeat,” he said, targeting the AIADMK.

He said he had worked tirelessly over the past five years and ensured that the previous DMK government functioned for the welfare of the people.

“People are aware of this. I do not want to blame anyone for our inability to return to power. As the leader of the party, I take responsibility for this defeat. When I can take pride in victory, there is nothing wrong with taking responsibility for failure rather than blaming others. That is only fair,” Stalin said.

Referring to the TVK winning the floor test in the Assembly with 144 votes, Stalin said the ruling party had proved its majority on the floor of the House despite not having secured a majority on its own in the election.

Referring to the split in the AIADMK, whose 25 MLAs voted in favour of the TVK government during the confidence motion moved by CM Vijay in the Assembly on Wednesday, Stalin said, “There is no need to explain how the AIADMK will behave. In this situation, it is impossible to predict what will happen next. Therefore, we must act properly and efficiently in the Assembly.” PTI JSP SSK

NEET Paper Leak: Accused Alleges “Big Names Being Protected”, CBI Probe Expands to Bihar

ABP News Bureau — Thu, 14 May 2026 14:51:13 +0530

The NEET examination paper leak controversy has intensified after a key accused in Jaipur allegedly claimed that “big names are being protected” during the investigation. The accused has also questioned the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, suggesting that while lower-level individuals are being arrested, influential people linked to the wider network are not being brought under scrutiny. These remarks have added a new layer of political and administrative controversy to the already sensitive case. Reacting to the allegations and related political discussions, Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar stated that photographs with political leaders should not be misinterpreted, arguing that “anyone can be photographed with anyone” and that such images do not establish wrongdoing. He also targeted former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, accusing the previous government of failing to act decisively against exam-related corruption. The remarks have further escalated political blame games between rival parties over responsibility for repeated exam paper leak incidents. Meanwhile, the investigation has expanded beyond Rajasthan, with major developments reported from Bihar. Police conducted raids at VIMS Hospital in Pawapuri, Nalanda district, where links to the NEET paper leak network are being probed. Authorities have already arrested seven individuals in connection with the case. Among them is an MBBS student identified as a key suspect, who allegedly played a central role in the operation. Investigators recovered significant evidence during earlier arrests, including large amounts of cash, mobile phones, admit cards, and suspicious documents linked to multiple examinations. These findings have raised concerns about a wider interstate racket involving Rajasthan, Haryana, Bihar, and possibly other regions.

The funeral is being held following Prateek Yadav’s sudden demise, which has led to an outpouring of grief within the Yadav family and political circles.

Supporters and party workers have expressed condolences and are gathering in large numbers in Lucknow. The atmosphere in the city remains solemn as arrangements for the final rites continue. Security and administrative arrangements have also been strengthened due to the presence of several political figures expected to arrive to pay their respects.
