The new higher rate shall come into effect from March 1.
4. Icecreams and frozen desserts: Owing to low milk supply as well as increased cost of import of skimmed milk powder which is one of the major ingredient of icecreams, prices of these products have already been hiked by some of the major players including Amul, Vadilal etc.
5. Beverages:There shall be hike of 6-14% on beverage offerings of Pepsi Co, Coco Cola in 600 ml PET bottles. For some of the companies such as Mountain Dew the hike shall be more than 14% to Rs. 40.
