Mother Dairy hikes milk prices by up to ₹2 per litre, effective April 30
Mother Dairy, a subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board, sources milk from 10 lakh farmers across 12 states and sells through 4 lakh retail outlets across India.
The raise came just a month after the company launched 'Promilk', a high-protein milk product aimed at tackling India's widespread protein deficiency, particularly in the Delhi-NCR region. Priced at ₹70 per litre, the new cow milk variant delivers 40 grams of protein per litre, contains 4 per cent fat and 11.5 per cent SNF (solids-not-fat), and is fortified with vitamins A and D. It will be sold in 500 ml and 1-litre packs via both online and offline retail stores from Thursday.
At the launch, Mother Dairy Managing Director Manish Bandlish said the new product is designed to meet nutritional needs in a country where "70-80 per cent of Indians struggle to meet daily protein requirements, with 93 per cent unaware of their nutritional needs."
'Protein is a vital part of a balanced diet,' Bandlish said, highlighting that Promilk delivers 30 per cent more protein than regular milk while keeping the taste familiar.
The company aims to begin with 50,000 litres per day and is considering expanding beyond Delhi-NCR based on initial consumer response.
Within three months, it also plans to roll out more 'Pro' range offerings like high-protein curd and paneer.

IndiGo to add more intl destinations; to explore new MRO opportunities
New Delhi, Jul 27 (PTI) IndiGo will continue to add more overseas destinations with A321 XLRs set to join the fleet this fiscal year and aims to increase its international capacity share to 40 per cent by 2030. Also, the country's largest airline plans to explore new opportunities in the MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) space, according to its annual report for 2024-25. IndiGo, which has been flying for over 18 years, has a domestic market share of 64.5 per cent, operates around 2,200 flights daily with more than 430 planes. 'We will continue to add more destinations internationally, especially with XLRs coming in along with our newly leased wide body aircraft for long haul operations. From 28 per cent current international capacity share, we are aiming for 40 per cent by FY 2030," IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said in his message in the annual report. Earlier this month, the carrier started flights to Manchester and Amsterdam that are being operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliners leased from Norway's Norse Atlantic. The long range A321 XLRs and wide-body A350-900s are expected to join the airline's fleet in the current fiscal year ending March 2026, and 2027, respectively. 'IndiGo also plans to explore new opportunities in the MRO space as India's infrastructure development is picking up," it said. The airline is setting up an MRO facility in Bengaluru. In the annual report, the airline said its outlook remains promising, supported by a healthy demand environment and firm capacity growth. 'While macroeconomic uncertainties and operating headwinds such as aircraft groundings and fuel cost volatility remain, IndiGo continues to proactively manage these challenges through fleet diversification, damp leasing strategies and strategic agreements with OEMs," it said. OEM refers to original equipment manufacturer. PTI RAM IAS TRB view comments First Published: July 27, 2025, 20:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Andhra to conduct village-level farm machinery survey
Amaravati, Jul 27 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh will commence a village-level agricultural machinery survey across the state to analyse overall availability and usage, and is expected to be completed by August 31, said a senior official on Sunday. According to Andhra Pradesh Director of Agriculture Dilli Rao, the exercise will be carried out by agricultural assistants through Rythu Seva Kendras (RSKs). 'This survey will assess machinery needs based on crop area and season, enabling demand-based budgeting rather than a uniform allocation," said Rao in the official press release. The survey will document machinery owned by farmers, Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies (PACS) and private agencies, including equipment purchased with or without subsidies, to analyse overall availability and usage. Details such as ownership, condition and operational status will be uploaded digitally to the Agriculture Information Management System (FMIS) on the Andhra Pradesh Agriculture Information and Management System (APAIMS 2.0). Key objectives include creating a digital machinery inventory, linking data with Custom Hiring Centers (CHCs) and identifying idle equipment for redeployment to improve rural agricultural productivity. The department plans to integrate AI-based crop advisories, enable e-CHC real-time bookings, and expand drone spraying services for farmers, Rao added.
