The government of Punjab has approved a significant increase in milk procurement prices under its cooperative brand Milkfed Punjab (Verka), effective April 1, 2026. The revision, ranging between Rs 10 and Rs 15 per kilogram of fat, is aimed at improving farmer remuneration and reinforcing the state’s rural economy. Led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the move reflects a broader policy focus on strengthening cooperative institutions and stabilizing dairy sector incomes amid rising input costs.
