Company Reducing its Dairy Product Prices

The key trigger for the rise in the share price is the announcement by the company that it has reduced the prices for most of its dairy products. The company made the decision after the Indian government announced GST reforms and lowered the GST burden on dairy products. The new GST rates will be applicable from September 22, along with the company’s new dairy prices.

The company has slashed the price of UTH milk by ₹3 per litre, ghee and butter by ₹50 per litre/kg, cheese by ₹50 per kg, paneer by ₹25 per kg, and ice cream by ₹35 for 950 ml packs and ₹20 for 700 ml packs.

The company said the move of reduced prices is a “consumer-first” initiative. It is aimed at making dairy products more affordable before the upcoming festive season.
