Maharashtra to revise milk subsidy formula for wider coverage

Maharashtra animal husbandry and dairy development minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil said on Wednesday that the state government would revise an earlier accepted formula to provide subsidy to milk producers for wider coverage.

During the winter session of the state legislature in Nagpur, Vikhe Patil had said on December 20 that the government would give a subsidy of Rs 5 per litre to milk producers in the state. The milk’s standard has to be 3.2 per cent fat and 8.3 per cent solid not fat (SNF), he had said.
