Parle G – There are some things that make people nostalgic just by looking at them. They are associated with childhood memories and emotions, which is why we always remember these things and feel a special joy when we see them. Parle G biscuits, found in every household, are one such emotion, seeing which people start remembering their childhood.
The price of Parle G biscuits also increased over the past several years, but due to the reduction in GST rates, their prices have once again decreased. Parle has provided information regarding this. This means that your favorite biscuit has now become cheaper.
How much have the prices become cheaper?
Just as car companies released new rate lists after the GST rate reduction, Parle has also announced the price of their biscuits. Parle G’s rates have been particularly highlighted. The company has stated that an 800-gram packet, which previously cost Rs 100, is now priced at Rs 89. The price of a 1000-gram packet has dropped from Rs 160 to Rs 142.40. Similarly, packets of Crackjack, Monaco, Hide & Seek, and other biscuits will also be available at cheaper prices. Besides biscuits, the prices of Parle’s toffees and namkeen have also been reduced.
Which things became cheaper?
Following the GST rate changes, not only biscuits but many other daily use items have become cheaper. These include shampoo, chocolate, noodles, and other items. However, some items that used to cost five or two rupees have become less expensive. For example, a five-rupee packet of Parle-G now costs 4.47 rupees, causing confusion among shopkeepers. However, the company’s owner had stated that people could use UPI or purchase a larger packet.

Biscuits like Parle-G used to attract an 18 percent GST, which has now been reduced to five percent. Similarly, many items previously charged a 28 percent GST, but have now been reduced to 18 percent. This includes items like cars and bikes.
