Prices Increased by Up to Rs15 Per Kg
According to the details, prices of various brands of cooking oil and ghee have been increased by up to Rs15 per kilogram.

Consumers purchasing cooking oil and ghee from utility stores will therefore have to pay the increased rates under the new pricing notification.
