Prices Commission Powers May Be Extended
Prices Commission powers may be extended as the government debates whether a minimum price should be invoked to curb price fixing across industries. Reports cite petrol as a case where a minimum price could affect profits and ration systems, while observers note retail margins run below 30 percent and a wider price-easing drive could follow if powers are expanded. The ministry is slated to decide soon on formal measures.
