Relief For Households As Milk Gets Cheaper, Amul & Mother Dairy To Cut Milk Prices From September 22

Mumbai: Milk is a basic need for every home. To help people fight rising prices, the government has taken a big step. From September 22, major dairy brands like Amul and Mother Dairy will reduce the price of UHT (Tetra Pack) milk.

This is because the 5 percent GST on Tetra Pack milk has been removed in the latest GST Council meeting. Now, no GST will be charged on this type of milk.

What is UHT or Tetra Pack Milk?

UHT (Ultra-High Temperature) or Tetra Pack milk is packaged milk that can be stored for a long time without refrigeration. It is used by families who need to store milk for days or weeks.

No GST on Pouch Milk Already

Milk sold in plastic pouches or token milk was already GST-free, and it will continue to remain so. This price cut will only apply to Tetra Pack milk.
