According to the rules, manufacturing companies will have to write the rate per unit/per kg on the packet along with the MRP.

Similarly, if any packet contains more than 1 kg of luggage, its price will have to be written on it. The package will be priced at the same price as the item Depart. This will save you a lot of money and fraud.
The Government of India has made changes in the Legal Metrology (Packet Commodity Rules). It contains 19 types of items like milk, tea, biscuits, edible oil, flour, soft drinks, water, baby food, pulses and food grains, cement bags, bread, soap, etc.
Material companies will now be given complete freedom to decide how many kilograms or grams of pouches to make. Along with this, another big change has been made.
