The Odisha State Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation Limited, OMFED, has officially revised its milk prices, with the new rates coming into effect from today.
The revised prices show an increase of Rs 2 per litre for premium and toned milk and Rs 4 per litre for gold milk.
State to Partially Absorb Hike
According to OMFED’s official notification, the federation had initially proposed a Rs 4 increase per litre across all milk variants. However, the state government has decided to subsidise Rs 2 of the hike, leaving the remaining Rs 2 to be borne by consumers.
Impact on Tea Sellers and Consumers
OMFED stated that while the price revision might impact consumers, it is expected to benefit dairy farmers, who have been facing rising input costs.
A tea stall owner in Cuttack said, “Now that the price has increased, it is very likely that we will have to raise the price of tea per cup. We have to sustain ourselves. A hike in tea prices might upset some customers, but we will sell it at a reasonable price while keeping our profit margin. However, I will not compromise on quality.”

Public Voices Concern over Timing of Hike
Another local resident voiced concern, stating, “The price of milk was raised just six months ago. Increasing it again now is surely inconvenient for us.”
