The article argues that India faces a shortage of milk fat rather than of overall milk, attributing pressure to a shift from buffaloes toward cows, enforcement against imitation dairy products, and drought-related limits on production. It cites USDA expectations for 2% milk-output growth in 2027 and reports that Indian butter prices rose 10% from January to August 2026, reaching ₹515/kg in August.
