Authorities highlighted that stabilizing milk rates is part of a broader policy to ensure food affordability in Karachi. Regular monitoring and inspections will continue to prevent overpricing by any segment of the supply chain.
In October 2025, the Sindh government rejected a demand by the Dairy Farmers Association (DFA) to increase the retail price of milk to Rs300 per litre. Officials warned that strict action would be taken against any unilateral price hikes by dairy farmers.
