October 23: After a gap of 14 years, now once again the price of matchbox is going to increase. On the one hand, the prices of other everyday items are increasing. At the same time, matches are the only thing that did not lighten your pocket. For the last 14 years, the price of a matchbox was not increased even once. However, if reports are to be believed, from next month, a box of matches will be available for Rs 2.
In fact, representatives of five major matchbox industry bodies have unanimously announced to increase the MRP of matches from Rs 1 to Rs 2 from December 1. Earlier in the year 2007, the price of matchbox was revised, at that time its price was increased from 50 paise to Re 1. (QNS)
