The Hindu
The proposed price increase comes after a gap of 14 years
Effective December 1, the price of a matchbox would be ₹2 from the present ₹1 and this is in view of a rise in production cost, triggered by an increase in price of raw materials, the industry body said on Sunday.
Consumers would, however, get more matchsticks in a box when they buy it at ₹2, up from 36 matchsticks to 50 per box.
The proposed price increase comes after a gap of 14 years, Secretary of the National Small Matchbox Manufacturers Association, V.S. Sethurathinam said.
