The price of sugar at Utility Stores is set to increase by Rs. 5 per kilogram for all categories of consumers under the Prime Minister’s package, sources told ProPakistani.
The new price for subsidized sugar will be Rs. 114 per kg, while non-subsidized sugar will now cost Rs. 160 per kg for non-subsidized consumers.
Sources said this price hike is due to higher transportation costs and is expected to be implemented from today onwards.
It bears mentioning that the federal government last month was all set to introduce a substantial relief package for the public through Utility Stores. The package included subsidies on pulses, chickpeas, broken rice, ghee, and sugar.
