Kerala Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (KCMMF) has decided to implement any revised milk prices only after the local body elections in the state. KCMMF chairman KS Mani, while addressing the media, said that a committee appointed to study the price revision had already submitted its report to the board.

However, before the board could discuss the proposal, the GST rate was revised. "Following the GST revision, we decided not to take up the price revision proposal during the meeting. But GST and price revision have no direct connection," Mani said.

He added that the board has now decided to revisit the price increase proposal after the elections. "There is a demand from farmers to increase the price by Rs 5–6 per litre. However, Milma has not taken any official decision so far. Even the decision to consider the hike will only be taken in the board meeting," he said.
