Mother Dairy, a subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), has announced a major price cut on select dairy and Safal processed food products, following the GST rate reductions introduced by the Government of India. The revised MRPs will come into effect from September 22, 2025.
GST Reforms Passed On to Consumers
Mother Dairy’s Managing Director Manish Bandlish confirmed that the company is passing on 100% of the tax benefit to consumers. With the new GST structure, almost all products now fall under either the exempted or 5% slab, making them significantly cheaper.
He added that this move would encourage greater consumption, strengthen demand for packaged food, and positively impact the entire supply chain, from farmers to consumers.
