What the numbers say
Method sets the price
Curd / Bilona cow ghee cost 3.3 times as much as dairy cow ghee at the median. Curd ghee takes far more milk per kilo: in our kitchen, 30 to 35 litres of Gir cow milk make 1 kg.
Bilona prices spread wide
From ₹1,652 to ₹3,595 a litre, a gap of ₹1,943. Glass jars, organic certificates, and small packs push a litre up. Compare per litre, not per jar.
A Bilona label at a dairy price is a question
No curd / Bilona cow ghee in this edition sold below ₹1,652 a litre. A jar that says Bilona or A2 and costs like a dairy tin deserves a closer look. Our purity checker walks you through one.
Per spoon, the gap shrinks
At the median, a 5 mL teaspoon of curd / Bilona cow ghee costs ₹12.0 and one of dairy cow ghee ₹3.6. Work out your own family's month below.

How we collect the prices
- Every price is the selling price shown on 25 October 2026, not a coupon and not the MRP. Where an MRP was shown, it is listed below the price.
- We read the price on the brand's own shop first. Big dairies and cooperatives mostly do not sell on their own sites, so for those we use BigBasket, with no delivery location set, and take the listing with the most ratings for that pack size. The "Price from" column says which. BigBasket prices can differ by city.
- Price per litre is the pack price scaled to 1,000 mL. Price per teaspoon divides that by 200 (5 mL a teaspoon).
- The groups follow what each brand's page or listing says. "Curd / Bilona" means the brand says its ghee is made from curd or by Bilona. A pack that does not say cow or buffalo is listed on its own and left out of every median. We did not lab-test these jars, and this page makes no claim about their purity.
- Our own rows are our live price on the same day, marked "ours".
- Each monthly edition is frozen once published. A correction is noted on the page, never made silently. Brands and readers can send corrections on WhatsApp: +91 63544 69779.
