GST 2.0 Effects: Dove Shampoo, Kissan Jam, Horlicks in Horlicks Hul Products Become Cheaper

Hindustan Unilever (HUL) announced that the price reductions for several of its major consumer products, including Dove Shampoo, Horlicks, Kissan Jam and Lifebuoy Soap, will take effect on September 22.

According to the company’s newspaper advertisement, a 340ml bottle of pigeon shampoo is now priced at Rs 435, down from Rs 490 to Rs 490. Horlicks (200 gm) will cost Rs 110 instead of Rs 130, while Kissan Jam of 200 gm will drop from Rs 90 to Rs 80.

Even the popular packages of four 75 GM Lifebuoy soaps are cheap, at Rs 60 and under Rs 68. Hul said new stocks with price updates or slightly larger prices are gradually reaching stores.

However, there are some concerns about consumers who buy products in small bags, as the updated price stickers on these small packages are tricky – no official instructions are provided.
