Mother Dairy has cut prices of tetrapack milk, as well as revised rates across its dairy and processed foods offerings, to pass on the benefits of a GST rate cut to buyers.
Effective 22 September 2025, one-litre ultra high-temperature milk will cost ₹75 as against ₹77 earlier, the wholly owned subsidiary of National Dairy Development Board said on Tuesday (16 September), adding that its entire portfolio of offerings now attracts GST of 5% or zero.

It's worth noting here that pouch milk stays exempt from GST. Additionally, ice-creams are cheaper by up to ₹5/100 ml and ₹30/litre.
For Safal products—frozen snacks, jams, pickles, coconut water and tomato puree—GST has been reduced to 5% from 12% earlier.

On 4 September, the government reduced GST rates on hundreds of items—from soaps to small cars—in India's biggest indirect tax reform since Goods and Services Tax was first introduced on 1 July 2017. The GST structure has been simplified too—from four slabs (5%, 12%, 18% and 28%) to two (5% and 18%)—with most essential items attracting the lower tax rate.
