Maximum retail price set for bottled water not to apply to premium brands

Traders charging more than the maximum retail price may be fined Rs 200,000 to Rs 300,000, officials say.

The maximum retail price set for bottled water will not apply to premium brands, said the Department of Commerce, Supplies and Consumer Protection, which recently capped bottled water at Rs16 for a 1-litre bottle and Rs50 for a 20-litre jar.
