Introduction

Big milk companies in India, like Amul and Verka, are raising prices. They are also building new ways to sell milk.

Main Body

Amul raised the price of milk by 2 rupees on May 14. Food for cows and fuel now cost more money. Amul also pays more money to the farmers who make the milk. Verka in Punjab also raised prices by 1 or 2 rupees. This helps farmers earn more money. Other states like Odisha and Kerala are doing the same thing. Verka is putting new milk machines in offices and airports. They also have a new character named 'Guddi' to show that men and women are equal. The company expects to make more money next year.

Conclusion

Milk companies are raising prices to help farmers and pay for costs. They are also using new technology to sell milk.
