The prices of more than 800 essential items have been significantly reduced at Utility Stores, offering much-needed relief to consumers struggling with inflation. Various products, including everyday necessities such as cooking oil, ghee, detergent, and tea, have been included in this price cut.
Notably, some items have experienced a decrease of up to 10 percent, with reductions reaching as high as 200 rupees on certain products. Popular brands of items such as noodles, ketchup, tetra-pack milk, powdered milk, spices, pickles, soap, and toothpaste have all seen price adjustments. These changes have been implemented immediately at all Utility Stores nationwide.
At the same time, although the Benazir Income Support Program’s subsidy remains paused, it has been indicated that a new framework will soon bring it back. This reintroduction is expected to provide further financial assistance to those in need, complementing the current price reductions.
Utility Stores Enhance Services and Promise More Savings Amid Price Reductions
Additionally, the management of Utility Stores Corporation has committed to improving its services. A steady supply of quality products will be ensured as these price cuts remain in place. There have also been indications that further reductions could be introduced for other products, promising continued relief for consumers in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, the joint session of Parliament has been rescheduled for the following week. However, this has not affected the immediate availability of the newly discounted items, as customers are encouraged to visit Utility Stores and take advantage of these lower prices.
This price reduction marks a significant step toward easing the financial burden on households. Consumers now have access to essential items at more affordable rates, with the possibility of even more savings in the near future.
