New Delhi 8 Sep 2025 : The prices of milk, which is used in every household, are soon going to see a big drop. In a recent GST Council meeting, the government decided to exempt packaged milk from 5% GST. As soon as this decision is implemented, the prices of the country’s largest milk brands, Amul and Mother Dairy, will see immediate relief.
What is the purpose of this change?
With this GST exemption, consumers will directly benefit as the 5% tax on milk will be removed. The aim of this step is to make an essential item like milk more affordable amidst rising inflation so that every household can access good-quality milk at lower prices.

Among Amul products, full-cream milk Amul Gold costs around ₹69 per liter, while toned milk is sold at ₹57 per liter. Similarly, Mother Dairy full-cream milk is also priced at ₹69, and toned milk at around ₹57. Prices of buffalo and cow milk range between ₹50–75.
How much will prices drop after GST removal?
According to the government’s plan, milk prices will fall by about ₹3–₹4 per liter. For example, the price of Amul Gold will drop to around ₹65–66, while Mother Dairy’s full-cream milk will also come down to a similar range. Toned milk and buffalo milk will see similar relief.
