An association of manufacturers of well-known 'Indori Namkeen' (savouries) today said prices have increased by 12.5 per cent this year due to rise in production cost.
Babulal Jain of 'Namkeen-Mishthana Nirman Evam Vikreta Kalyan Sangh' told PTI "the high quality items which were selling at Rs 160 per kg last year, are now priced at Rs 180 per kg".
He said that rise in the cost of ingredients, fuel as well as the increased labour cost forced the manufacturers to hike the price.
