Considering the increasing expenditure, the Telangana State Dairy Development Cooperative Federation (Telangana Vijaya Dairy) on Tuesday enhanced the financial incentive being paid to milk producers by Re 1 per litre of milk. About one lakh dairy farmers supplying milk to Telangana Vijaya Dairy will be paid an incentive of Rs 5 per litre against the earlier Rs 4 per litre which will incur an additional expenditure of Rs 12 crore per year.
Telangana Vijaya Dairy chairman Loka Bhuma Reddy thanked Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, for their support.
