The federation has hiked the ghee prices by Rs 90 to be at Rs 700 per litre, reported CNN-News18.
The Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) has increased the price of Nandini Ghee by ₹90 per kg, raising the retail price from ₹610 to ₹700 per kg, effective today, November 5. Smaller packs have also become costlier — for example, the 50 ml pouch now costs ₹47.
This price hike applies across all KMF outlets in Karnataka and comes just weeks after the government cut GST on dairy products from 12% to 5% in September.

Why the hike?
KMF says the increase was necessary because of rising production costs and a shortage of butter and ghee in the market. According to Bamul Chairman D.K. Suresh, the cooperative is under financial pressure — it buys up to 1 crore litres of milk daily but sells only about 50 lakh litres, leading to losses despite a ₹4/litre government incentive.
Still cheaper than others:
Even after the hike, Nandini Ghee (₹700/kg) remains cheaper than other brands like Amul, Patanjali, and Gowardhan, which sell between ₹750 and ₹900 per kg. KMF says the new prices will help them maintain product quality and ensure farmers get fair returns.
