Consumers in Bihar will have to pay more for Sudha milk from April 24 as the Bihar State Milk Cooperative Federation Limited (Comfed) has decided to hike milk prices. The new rates, which have already been implemented, will affect all types of milk and will see an increase of Rs 2 to Rs 3 per litre.

Bihar State Milk Cooperative Federation Limited (Comfed), which sells milk and dairy products under the Sudha brand, argued that milk producers needed to be paid more and thus decided to hike milk prices.

Notably, this is the second time in the last six months that the price of Sudha milk has been increased in Bihar, with Comfed having previously raised prices in October 2022.
