The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has issued a gazette notice setting a maximum retail price (MRP) for sugar with immediate effect.

 

Accordingly, the maximum retail price for unpacketed white and brown sugar will be Rs. 275 and Rs. 300 per kilo respectively.

 

The maximum retail price for packaged white and brown sugar will be Rs. 295 and Rs. 350.
