Utility Stores Corporation has announced a significant cut in sugar prices nationwide. Now, sugar costs Rs. 140 per kg, a decrease from the previous price of Rs. 153 per kg. This reduction, amounting to Rs. 13 per kg, comes as welcome news for many shoppers, especially those managing tight budgets.
The price drop follows a recent decision by the government to remove subsidies on essential items at state-run outlets. This change had increased the prices of key staples like flour, ghee, sugar, pulses, and rice, impacting households across the country. For those already struggling with rising costs, the new sugar price brings much-needed relief.
With this change, Utility Stores aims to support consumers and ease some of the financial burden caused by rising prices on other essentials.
