Sudha Milk Price Hike in Bihar: Milk lovers in Bihar could be paying higher prices soon as the Bihar State Milk Co-operative Federation Limited (COMFED) has started looking at revamping the price of Sudha milk. A committee has been set up to look at the current prices of milk and other dairy products.
This comes just six months after COMFED raised prices of some types of Sudha milk and dairy products in May 2026. However, there is currently no official word about prices going up again.
Why Is COMFED Looking To Raise Prices?
The committee will look at several factors before recommending any price changes. This includes market conditions, the cost of procuring milk and production costs.
Costs include:
- Higher fodder prices: Both green and dry fodder, as well as commercial feeding can have a large impact on the cost of keeping dairy cattle.
- Procurement costs: Dairy co-operatives will want to pay competitive prices to farmers.
- Transportation costs: Transporting milk to processing centres from villages and packaging can be costly.
- Packaging and processing: Electricity, refrigeration, packaging and other costs can affect the price of the product.
COMFED Chairman Shirshat Kapil Ashok has said they will look at market conditions and the cost of producing milk in order to implement the price increase. They will decide if the current prices should be changed.

Amul and Mother Dairy Raised Prices
Other large dairy brands have raised their prices. Amul and Mother Dairy raised their prices from November 12, 2026. Some milk products went up by between Rs 2 to Rs 4 per litre.
Amul Gold increased from Rs 70 to Rs 74 per litre. Amul Taaza increased by Rs 2 per litre.
The Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) said they increased prices because of higher procurement costs, higher fodder prices, packaging and transportation costs.
Bihar’s Growing Dairy Industry
Interestingly, this news comes as Bihar grows its dairy co-operative industry.
The Bihar Information and Public Relations Department announced in October 2026 that 4,800 new primary milk producer’s co-operative societies had been set up in the current financial year. Of this number 2,150 are now active and have helped to increase milk collection in the state by around 91,000kg per day.
This growth is happening thanks to COMFED. It helps to grow the cooperative industry, give farmers better access to the market and increase their income.
The state government is also working to open up Jeevika-Sudha centres in all 8,053 gram panchayats as part of their Saat Nischay-3 programme.
If the price goes up by Rs 2 per litre you’ll be spending an extra Rs 120 per month. If it goes up by Rs 3 you’ll be paying an extra Rs 180 and if it goes up by Rs 4 you’ll be spending an extra Rs 240 per month.
