The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets Amul products, attributed the increase to rising input and processing costs, including fodder, cattle feed, packaging materials and fuel.

The cooperative said the revision would help ensure better returns for milk producers, with a major share of the additional revenue going back to farmers.
