In a big relief to the common man who is reeling under inflation, the Mother Dairy has decided to lower the rates of its edible oils up to Rs 15 per litre across variants.
According to the Mother Dairy spokesperson, the maximum retail prices (MRP) of Dhara edible oils are being reduced by up to Rs 15 per litre across variants.
“This reduction is largely being done for oils majorly consumed in our country such as Mustard Oil, Soyabean Oil and Sunflower Oil, on account of recent government-led initiatives, reduced impact of international markets and ease in availability of sunflower oil including improved domestic sunflower crop. Dhara edible oil variants with the new MRP will reach market by next week.” informed the Mother Dairy spokesperson.
According to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) data, this year in the month of April, the retail inflation had risen to 7.79 per cent. However, the price rise in edible oils was reported to be 17 per cent for the same period, more than double the rise in general prices.
