Andhra Pradesh Civil Supplies Minister Nadendla Manohar convened a meeting today with wholesale traders, millers, and suppliers to address the pricing of essential commodities. Following the discussions, Nadendla announced a significant reduction in prices for items such as rice, toor dal, and steamed rice.
In the current open market, toor dal is priced at Rs 181 per kg, while rice and steamed rice are available at Rs 52.40 per kg and Rs 55.85 per kg, respectively. In a move to make these essential items more accessible to the public, Nadendla stated that special counters will be established at rythu bazaars to offer them at discounted rates.
Starting Thursday, toor dal will be sold at Rs 160 per kg, rice at Rs 48 per kg, and steamed rice at Rs 49 per kg through rythu bazaars. Nadendla Manohar also instructed joint collectors to oversee the implementation of these arrangements effectively.
