Following the GST rate reduction announced by the central government, state-run dairy cooperative Aavin has slashed the prices of several of its dairy products from 22 September. The move is expected to bring relief to consumers across Tamil Nadu.The revised prices include a drop in ghee rates, with one litre reduced from ā¹690 to ā¹650. Similarly, the 50 ml ghee packet now costs ā¹45 instead of ā¹48. Paneer prices have also been revised, with the 200-gram packet reduced from ā¹120 to ā¹110, and the 500-gram pack from ā¹300 to ā¹275.
Aavin officials said that unlike some private and cooperative dairies, the organization continues to maintain high quality standards while passing on the benefit of the tax cut to consumers. They also pointed out that over 90% of Aavinās revenue is given back to milk producers, thereby supporting farmers directly.
