Hambantota Lanka Salt Company has decided to increase the price of salt.
The price hike is attributed to the increased cost of imported salt, the company said.
Accordingly, the price of a 400g packet of powdered salt has been increased by Rs. 20, from Rs. 100 to Rs. 120.
Meanwhile, the price of a one-kilogram packet of crystal salt has risen by Rs. 60, from Rs. 120 to Rs. 180.
However, the Hambantota Salt Company said that this price increase is a temporary measure. (Newswire)
