[Resolved]  Surf Excel — Reduction in weight to keep the price constant

Address: Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

Dear Sir,

I noticed that the manufacturers have started reducing the weight of content in the packets. This has happened in the case of Surf Excel, as well as Brooke Bond Natura. There may be other products as well that are being packaged like that so that people do not realize that more money is being taken from them. I bought Brooke Bond Natura packet which weighs 400 gms instead of standard 500 gms. Likewise, Surf Excel packet has come down from 500 to 475 gms.

Another fact that I noticed is when the government increases diesel prices by 1 rupee or 2 rupees, the supermarkets increase the prices of all goods by that much. How can that be sir? I mean, the cost of transporting 1 packet of wheat flour or oil cant be equal to 1 litre diesel, isn't it? No amount of hardwork seems to help us who are working in private sector.
