The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) today (March 13) announced that the Maximum Retail Prices of rice remain unchanged.

Therefore the MRP remains unchanged and are as below :
Raw red rice – Rs. 220 per kg
Nadu rice – Rs. 230 per kg
Samba rice – Rs. 240 per kg
Keeri Samba rice – Rs. 260 per kg
The CAA further emphasizes that continuous raids and investigations will be conducted islandwide to strictly enforce these price regulations and take legal action against any violators.
