The GCMMF increased prices of Gold, Taaza, and Shakti milk brands by Rs 2 per litre ahead of Diwali in October 2022 in all states except Gujarat. Former Amul MD RS Sodhi had said in a statement, “Amul has increased prices of full cream milk, gold and buffalo milk by Rs 2 per litre in all states except Gujarat.”

After this price hike, Amul Shakti milk was available at Rs 50 per litre, Amul Gold at Rs 62 per litre, and Amul Taaza at Rs 56 per litre. The price hike was done given the rise in overall costs of operation and production of milk, as per Amul. 

Sodhi, however, told India Today: “The prices of gold and buffalo milk prices has been increased by Rs 2 per litre due to an increase in fat prices in some other markets in Gujarat. Only for gold and buffalo milk due to higher dairy prices.”
