This tweet had a press note from Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) which said – The price of Amul milk has been increased by Rs 2 per liter. The prices of Amul Gold, Amul Shakti and Amul Fresh have been increased. The increased prices of milk will be applicable from 03 June 2024.
