Sarvottam Dairy of Bhavnagar makes record-breaking hike in milk fat prices on Diwali

According to a report by Sandesh, Bhavnagar District Cooperative Milk Producers Union Limited, known as 'Sarvottam Dairy', has given a Diwali gift to lakhs of cattle rearers of Bhavnagar district. Keeping in mind the economic prosperity and interests of the cattle rearers, the board of directors of Sarvottam Dairy has decided to increase the milk purchase price.

This new price hike will come into effect from the milk purchase day of 21 November 2026. Currently, cattle rearers are paid ₹920 per kilo-fat for milk. A direct increase of ₹30 per kilo-fat has been made, due to which the new historic price of milk purchase has become ₹950 per kilo-fat from 21 November.

In November 2025, cattle rearers were paid ₹900 per kilo-fat, compared to which ₹950 per kilo-fat will be paid in November 2026, so there has been an increase of ₹50 per kilo-fat in just one year. This step has been taken by the dairy amidst inflation and the rising cost of cattle feed.

With this decision of Sarvottam Dairy, milk producers of Bhavnagar district and Sihor region will receive an estimated additional direct income of ₹5 crore every month.
