Mother Dairy Reduces Prices to Pass on GST Benefits to Consumers

Mother Dairy reduces consumer prices to pass on 100% tax benefit to all applicable products, effective September 22, 2025.

Mother Dairy, a wholly owned subsidiary of National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), today announced a reduction in the consumer prices of select value-added dairy products and processed foods (under Safal brand), aligning with the recent GST reforms announced by the Government of India.

Sharing the announcement, Manish Bandlish, Managing Director, Mother Dairy, said, “The recent GST reduction across a wide range of dairy and processed food products represents a progressive step that will significantly boost consumption and accelerate the adoption of safe, high-quality packaged offerings. As a consumer-centric organisation, we are passing on 100% of the tax benefit to our patrons, effective September 22, 2025, keeping up with the spirit of this reform.”

He further added, “With this change, our entire portfolio now falls either under the exempted/nil or the lowest slab of 5%. We are confident this measure will positively impact the entire value chain: farmers will benefit from increased demand for packaged food products, further supported by GST reductions on farm equipment and allied components, while consumers will gain from affordable pricing and greater access to packaged dairy and processed foods.” 

Mother Dairy also noted that pouch milk (e.g., Full Cream Milk, Toned Milk) has always been exempt from GST and remains so, with no change to its price.
