Milk price hike after Cabinet discussion: CM Siddaramaiah

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has stated that a decision regarding a potential hike in milk prices will be made following a discussion in the Cabinet.
The CM recently addressed a meeting with chairpersons and managing directors of the Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers' Federation Ltd (KMF) and district milk unions, where the unions proposed a Rs 3 per litre increase for milk and curd.
Siddaramaiah emphasised that the unions’ primary goal is to benefit farmers, not to generate profit. He acknowledged that current milk prices in Karnataka are comparatively low and stated that any increase in prices would need to directly benefit the farmers.
However, the CM did not support the unions' request for a portion of the increased price to be allocated for covering the maintenance costs of the unions. He stressed the importance of transparency in union operations, urging them to cut unnecessary expenses and avoid hiring additional contractual staff unless absolutely necessary. Furthermore, he recommended that administrative costs be capped at a maximum of 2 percent.
