Aavin, Tamil Nadu’s dairy cooperative, raises prices of multiple milk-based products ahead of Diwali/Deepavali, affecting items bought for everyday use and festive consumption. Reports say the change begins from late October, with curd prices increasing by ₹10 per kilo and ghee by ₹80 per kilo.
Outlets describe the revision as a response to cost pressures. Business Line (Home) and Mint say Aavin links the hike to higher production or raw material, procurement, and related expenses, and frames it as necessary to offset rising costs while keeping products competitive. NDTV likewise focuses on the impact on ghee and milk, and notes that the price adjustment covers a range of items used during the festival period.
While all accounts center on the same price revision by Aavin, they vary in which products they highlight first—some lead with curd and ghee specifics, while others emphasize the broader basket of everyday and festive purchases.
