In a significant move, Karnataka’s popular dairy brand, Nandini, will officially make its debut in the national capital on Thursday. This marks the brand’s first venture into North India, as it looks to expand its reach beyond the state of Karnataka. The launch event is set to be a high-profile occasion, with Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in attendance.

In a recent move, Mother Dairy has announced a ₹2 per litre hike in milk prices across all operating markets, effective from June 3, 2024. This decision comes amidst rising production costs that have been affecting milk producers for over a year. The price increase is applicable to all variants of milk and is aimed at compensating the producers for increased production expenses.

Dhiren Solanki, a farmer from Gujarat, has found unexpected success in the dairy industry by venturing into donkey milk production. With a farm housing 42 donkeys, Solanki has tapped into a niche market, selling donkey milk online at a staggering ₹5,000 per litre, a remarkable 70 times higher than the price of cow milk.
