Kerala to Upgrade Maveli Stores and Launch 24x7 Supplyco Outlets Ahead of Onam
Kerala plans to upgrade Maveli Stores into Super Stores and launch 24x7 Supplyco convenience outlets to strengthen its public distribution network ahead of the Onam festival. The government will intensify market interventions, including increased subsidised rice supply and trade fairs across major cities, to ensure affordable essential commodities. The Onam Fair will be inaugurated by Chief Minister V D Satheesan on August 8 in Ernakulam, with additional local fairs starting August 12. These measures aim to stabilize prices and improve subsidy reach during the festival season.
