It is the season of cooking and baking, but with Amul Butter in short supply, consumers aren’t like the cat that got the cream. A shortage only means market shelves without butter on them.
 
“There is a supply-side deficit. We are now able to procure only two packs of butter a day, as opposed to three packs (each containing 30 packets of butter) in a day,” says a salesman at Modern Bazaar, a departmental store in New Delhi’s Greater Kailash.
 
He added that the problem persists for all Amul Butter packs — 100 grams (gm), 200 gm, and 500 gm.
