Karnataka raises Nandini milk price by ₹8 per litre from November 1

From 1 Nov, Karnataka’s state‑run Nandini milk will cost <b>₹8</b> more per litre, the government announced, saying the surge will channel <b>₹7</b> to dairy farmers and <b>₹1</b> to milk unions. While the move is billed as farmer relief, the modest increase barely offsets the chronic low margins dairy producers face, and years of red‑tape have left many still waiting for promised payouts. Consumers will feel the pinch at the checkout, and the extra rupee per litre will trickle up the supply chain.
