Ghee Price in India per kg: Amul, Patanjali and More

A 1 litre pack of branded cow ghee cost between ₹669 and ₹1,841 on 21 October 2026, going by the MRPs on the brands' own online shops. The lowest per litre was Vita cow ghee, poly pack (₹669 for 1 L pouch); the highest was Organic India Organic Cow Ghee (₹1,841). The middle of the 9 cow ghee packs we read was about ₹835 a litre. A2 and Gir cow ghee ran from ₹1,400 to ₹3,600 a litre.

Prices are MRPs (or the single price the shop shows) read on 21 October 2026 from each brand's own website, not from Amazon, Flipkart or quick-commerce apps. They are not a live rate. Shops and apps often sell below MRP, and MRPs change. IndianAgri does not sell ghee and was not paid by any brand listed.

Read on 21 October 2026 from each brand's own shop. Sorted by ₹ per litre within each type. "MRP" means the shop labels it MRP or shows it as the struck-through price; a star means the shop shows one price with no MRP label.

₹ per litre is worked out from the pack size and price, nothing else. Amul's prices were shown after choosing a Delhi delivery pin code (110001); other cities may differ.

Brands whose own site showed no price that day: Nandini (KMF) (catalogue only, with a bulk-order form); Mother Dairy (catalogue only, no shop); Heritage (lists pack sizes and sends buyers to retail apps); Gowardhan (lists pack sizes and links to a retailer); Milma (product descriptions only); Aavin (no ghee price on the product pages); Paras (a price with no pack size, so we could not use it); Saras, Verka, GRB, Madhusudan (we found no working own shop with a price). We leave them out rather than borrow a retailer's figure.

The table itself shows four things that move the price.

• Which milk. Ordinary cow ghee sat around ₹835 a litre. Ghee sold as A2, Gir cow or bilona-made cost from ₹1,400 to ₹3,600 a litre, two to five times as much. Buffalo ghee was not dearer than cow ghee at the same brand: Amul's buffalo ghee (₹680) was below its cow ghee (₹705).
• Who makes it. The three dairy co-operatives with prices on their own shops (Amul, Vita, Katraj) priced 1 litre of cow ghee between ₹669 and ₹875. Private and organic brands sat higher.
• Organic or not. Organic India's certified-organic cow ghee had the highest MRP among the cow ghee packs, ₹1,841 a litre, though its shop offered it at ₹1,699.
• The pack. The same ghee costs a little more in a jar than in a pouch: Katraj's 1 litre jar was ₹875 against ₹850 for the pouch, and Vita's ₹679 against ₹669. Small packs cost more per litre: Amul's 500 mL Gir cow ghee works out to ₹1,400 a litre.

Why A2 or bilona ghee is priced so high is the seller's own case to make; this page only records the prices. For the cattle behind it, read our piece on India's indigenous cattle and climate-resilient dairy.

No. Most people search for the price of "1 kg ghee", but every brand in our table sells ghee by volume: 200 mL, 500 mL, 1 litre, 15 litre tins. Ghee is fat, and fat is lighter than water, so a litre of ghee weighs less than a kilo. How much less depends on the ghee and its temperature, and we have not found an official figure we are willing to print. So this page compares ghee per litre, as it is sold, and does not convert.

What this means for you: when a seller quotes a price "per kg", ask whether it is by weight or for a 1 litre pack. The two are not the same quantity, and a per-kg price will look higher than the per-litre MRP of the same ghee.

All ghee starts as milk, and India makes more milk than any other country. According to the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying's Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics 2025, India produced 247.87 million tonnes of milk in 2024-25, up 3.58% from 239.30 million tonnes in 2023-24. Milk available per person rose to 485 grams a day, from 319 grams in 2014-15.

Five states produce more than half of it: Uttar Pradesh (15.66%), Rajasthan (14.82%), Madhya Pradesh (9.12%), Gujarat (7.78%) and Maharashtra (6.71%), together 54.09% (PIB release, 26 November 2025). Three of the brands in our table belong to milk co-operatives in those states: Amul (Gujarat), Katraj (Pune, Maharashtra) and, next door, Vita (Haryana).

The statistics do not give a figure for how much of that milk becomes ghee, so we do not quote one.

Buying for a bakery, sweet shop or food factory? Retail jars are the wrong unit. Ghee for business comes in 15 litre tins or bulk, and some food makers now use it dried, as a powder that mixes into dry premixes. Our sister site explains ghee powder: what it is, how it is made and how to get quotes from Indian makers.

Thinking of making ghee yourself? Our machinery site's guide to the ghee making machine walks through the whole line, from cream or butter to filled jars, and what to ask the makers.

We re-read this table every month and update it only when a price has changed.
