Expansion
Once again the prices of edible oil may come down. The government has asked the companies to consider in this regard. The Food Secretary held a meeting with the oil companies on Thursday. In this, it has been said to reduce the price by at least Rs 10 per liter. This will give relief to the people. However, recently the oil prices had come down by up to Rs 30 a litre. If the government is successful in reducing the price of edible oils again, then people will get the benefit of it in the festive season also.
