Supplyco Reports Record Onam Sales Exceeding Rs 422 Crore, Minister Says
Supplyco recorded a turnover exceeding Rs 422 crore during this year's Onam season, marking a recent record for the state-run retail chain, according to Kerala Minister Anoop Jacob. Sales increased without raising prices on most subsidised items, with some essential commodities seeing price reductions. The government ensured adequate stock availability and organised multiple trade fairs and free Onam kit distributions. A mobile ration shop initiative aims to improve access for marginalized communities, while the Open Market Sale Scheme for rice may continue post-Onam to regulate prices.
