Mother Dairy, a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), has announced price reductions across select value-added dairy products and Safal processed foods, effective September 22, 2025. The move comes in response to the government’s recent GST rate cuts, with the company passing on the full benefit to consumers.
“With this reform, we are ensuring that 100 per cent of the tax benefit reaches our patrons, effective September 22, 2025. This step reaffirms our consumer-first approach,” said Manish Bandlish, Managing Director, Mother Dairy.
Under the revised GST framework, UHT milk and paneer have shifted from the 5% slab to complete exemption, while ghee, butter, cheese, milkshakes, and ice creams have moved down from 12–18% to 5%. Safal’s frozen snacks, jams, pickles, coconut water, and tomato puree have also seen a cut from 12% to 5%. Regular pouch milk, meanwhile, remains exempt.
Following the changes, Mother Dairy’s portfolio will now fall either under the nil/exempt category or the lowest GST slab of 5%. The company said the revised prices will directly reflect these reductions, making its range of dairy and processed products more affordable to households.
