Edible Oil Prices: Food Secretary Sudhanshu Pandey said on Wednesday that due to the reduction in international rates and timely intervention of the government, the prices of edible oil have started coming down in the retail market. According to government data, the average retail prices of packaged edible oils, except groundnut oil, have come down marginally across the country since the beginning of this month and remain in the range of Rs 150 to 190 per kg.
Prices have decreased only last week
Last week, edible oil companies – Adani Wilmar and Mother Dairy – reduced the MRP (maximum retail price) for various types of edible oils by Rs 10-15 per litre. Both the companies said that the stock with the new MRP will come in the market soon.
Sudhanshu Pandey said, “The trend in the prices of edible oils is very positive due to timely intervention of the government and global developments.” Not only are the prices of edible oil, retail wheat and wheat flour stable, he said, adding that the rules have been useful to keep domestic prices under check. A senior food ministry official said major edible oil brands have reduced MRP in a phased manner and recently they have cut prices by Rs 10-15 per litre.
