Milk prices have risen across India as major dairy companies respond to higher procurement costs and reduced milk availability. The article reports cattle-feed expenses up about 25% following a deficient monsoon and maize diversion to industrial ethanol, while tighter supply has also raised prices for milk-fat products such as ghee, butter and paneer.
