New Delhi: The effect of inflation is now visible on everyday needs also. Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL) has increased the prices of its popular detergent brands Surf Excel, Rin and Wheel by up to 11 percent. Now customers will have to spend Rs 1 to 10 more according to different packs. The company has taken this decision amidst rising prices of raw materials and pressure on profits.
Last month, HUL MD and CEO Priya Nair had indicated that the company can increase the prices of products as per the need in view of the fluctuations in the prices of raw materials. Companies in the FMCG sector are constantly changing prices to reduce the impact of rising costs.
Which packs of Surf Excel are more expensive?
The prices of different packs of Surf Excel have been increased. Quick Wash 1 kg pack will now be available for Rs 245 instead of Rs 235. At the same time, the price of a 500-gram pack has increased from Rs 123 to Rs 128.
Similarly, the price of Surf Excel Easy Wash 1 kg has been increased from Rs 167 to Rs 172. Its 500 gram pack will now be available for Rs 87 instead of Rs 85. The price of Surf Excel Bar 250 grams has also increased from Rs 42 to Rs 45.
The price of a pack of four bars (200 grams each) has increased by Rs 10. Now customers will have to pay Rs 155 for this instead of Rs 145.
What are the new rates of Rin and Wheel powder?
The prices of Rin and Wheel products have also been changed. The price of Rin Ala 500 ml has been increased from Rs 90 to Rs 95. 1 kg pack of Rin powder will now be available for Rs 123 instead of Rs 120.
At the same time, the price of 500 grams of Rin powder has increased from Rs 61 to Rs 63. Now for 1 kg pack of Wheel powder you will have to pay Rs 93 instead of Rs 90. The price of its 500 gram pack has been increased from Rs 46 to Rs 47.
Will people have to pay more to buy soap?
HUL has not only increased the prices of detergents but also its soaps. The price of a 150 gram pack of the company’s Moti Gulab soap has been increased from Rs 74 to Rs 82. This means that now customers will have to spend additional Rs 8 to buy this soap.
This increase can directly impact the monthly budget of common households, as detergents and soaps are essential products used in everyday life.
