This decision was taken by the board of directors of TRCMPU, its chairperson Mani Viswanath said here on Tuesday.
With this increase, the societies under TRCMPU would get ₹48.31 per litre of milk, Ms. Viswanath said. The societies and farmers will get the increase from February, quantified on the basis of the procurement of December 2023.
