Packet milk prices remain stable
Open milk shopkeeper Rajendra Kumar says that due to heat, the quantity of milk given by cows has reduced. He says that anyway the prices of milk increase in the months of July-August. However, the good thing this year is that due to less number of savas, the prices of milk did not increase much, otherwise there is an increase of 4-6 rupees every year. He told that about 1.5 lakh liters of milk is sold in the open in Bikaner every day. At the same time, about one lakh liters of milk is sent outside. If we talk about packaged milk, then its price in Bikaner is 50 to 54 rupees. However, despite the increase in the prices of open milk, the rates of packaged milk are stable. There has been no change in them. On the other hand, shopkeepers selling milk say that the price of packaged milk has increased many times more than that of open milk.
Tea can be expensive
It is worth noting that milk is a common necessity and it is often used for tea. An average Indian household needs it to make tea several times a day. A common Indian is fond of tea. But as the price of milk increases, the quantity of milk in tea also decreases. The effect of the increase in milk prices is also visible on tea shops. When the price of milk increases, tea also becomes expensive. At the same time, the quantity of tea in homes decreases. But a common necessity cannot be given up. Therefore, whatever the price, milk will have to be bought.
