Aavin Price Hike 2026 : People buying dairy products in Tamil Nadu may have to spend more ahead of Diwali. Government-owned dairy brand Aavin has decided to increase the prices of ghee, butter and several sweets. The new rates are reportedly scheduled to take effect on October 28, 2026. Demand for sweets and ingredients used in festive cooking typically rises during Diwali. As a result, changes in dairy prices could affect household budgets. However, the actual impact will depend on how much of these products each family purchases.

Ghee Prices Increase Across Different Pack Sizes
According to Aavin’s revised price list, different pack sizes of ghee will become more expensive. A 100 ml pack will now cost ₹95, compared with its previous price of ₹80, representing an increase of ₹15. The price of a 200 ml pack has risen from ₹160 to ₹180, requiring customers to pay an additional ₹20. A 500 ml pack of ghee is listed at ₹400. Since ghee is widely used to prepare sweets and festive dishes during Diwali, these price changes could influence shopping decisions.

Customers Will Pay More for Butter
Along with ghee, the price of butter has also been increased. A 100-gram pack, previously priced at ₹60, will now cost ₹70 under the revised rates. This means customers will pay an additional ₹10 for each pack. Butter is commonly used for breakfast as well as in the preparation of various dishes. Families that use it regularly may therefore see a rise in their monthly grocery expenses. The overall increase, however, will depend on the quantity purchased.

Prices of Several Sweets Also Increase
As demand for sweets rises during the Diwali season, Aavin has also increased the prices of several sweet products. These reportedly include Mysore Pak, Kaju Katli, Kaju Pista and other varieties. During the festival, people prepare sweets at home and purchase them from shops. Higher prices for sweets and the dairy ingredients used to make them could increase festive spending. However, the complete revised price list for individual sweets has not been provided in the available information.

New Aavin Rates Take Effect October 28
The revised prices of Aavin dairy products are reportedly scheduled to come into effect on October 28, 2026. After that date, customers may have to pay more for ghee, butter and the affected sweets. Families purchasing these products in larger quantities for the festival may need to adjust their budgets accordingly. Customers are advised to check the price printed on the packaging and confirm the applicable rates at their local Aavin outlet before purchasing. This will help them estimate their expenses more accurately.
