New Bread Prices Effective From May 16

According to reports, several major bread manufacturers implemented revised prices from May 16 onward. The hike applies to popular categories including sandwich bread, whole wheat bread and multigrain bread.

In some areas, the price of brown bread has reportedly increased from Rs 45 to Rs 50.

Bakery owners said rising production costs forced the price revision. They cited higher expenses related to plastic packaging, transportation, imported raw materials and the weakening rupee as major reasons behind the increase.

The recent hike in milk prices has also added pressure on food production costs.
