Summary Milk prices increase by Rs20 per litre in Karachi, raising the official retail rate to Rs240 amid revised supply chain pricing.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Milk prices in Karachi have been raised once again, adding further pressure on household budgets in the country’s largest city, as authorities approved a fresh increase of Rs20 per litre.
According to an official notification issued by the Karachi Commissioner, the new retail price of milk has been set at Rs240 per litre. The revised rate comes into immediate effect, marking a significant jump from the previous price.
The notification outlines a structured pricing mechanism across the supply chain. Dairy farmers will now receive Rs215 per litre for milk, while the wholesale rate has been fixed at Rs225 per litre. Retailers, in turn, will sell milk to consumers at the newly notified price of Rs240 per litre.
The latest increase reflects ongoing adjustments in the dairy sector, where pricing is often influenced by production costs, supply dynamics, and distribution margins. Officials have formalised the rates in an effort to regulate the market and ensure a consistent pricing framework across Karachi.
Milk remains a staple commodity in Pakistani households, widely consumed by people of all age groups. The revised pricing is expected to have a direct impact on daily expenditure, particularly for families that rely heavily on fresh milk as part of their routine diet.
Karachi, being one of the largest consumers of fresh milk in the country, regularly witnesses revisions in dairy prices. The supply chain involves multiple stakeholders, including farmers, transporters, wholesalers, and retailers, each contributing to the final cost borne by consumers.
