Thiruvananthapuram: Minister G Ar Anil said that timely change in the price of the products subsidized by Supplyco is necessary. The Minister said that only natural correction will be done and Supplyco is taking effective intervention to contain the price rise.
He said that the price of 2016 should be compared with today’s price and a firm cannot continue at this level.
The LDF agreed in principle to the price hike. Thirteen items have not increased in price for seven years. Naturally, there has to be an amendment to this. Due to this, the price does not increase in the market. The minister said that it has not been decided how much the price of subsidized goods will increase.
