Red chilli, red onions among eight items added to Deepavali price control scheme

It will be enforced for seven days, from Nov 9 to Nov 15, according to Domestic Trade Ministry

KAJANG – The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry announced eight items that will be placed under the Festive Seasons Maximum Price Control Scheme (SHMMP) for this year’s Deepavali. 

Acting minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said the maximum price scheme will be in force for seven days starting November 9 to November 15, for the said items, including imported big red onions and small red onions from India (with the exception of rose onions), red chilli, and imported mutton with bone. 

The other items on the list are Australian dhall, whole coconuts (at wholesale level only), scraped coconut (at retail level only), and tomatoes. 

“The scheme will be in force for three days before the festival, during the festival, and three days after under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011,” he said at a press conference to announce the 2023 Deepavali SHMMP here today. 

Armizan said the public can check the prices of the items on the ministry’s website

“We urge the public to report directly to any of the ministry’s platforms if there are price discrepancies, to enable us to investigate complaints immediately,” he said. 

Deepavali, or the festival of lights, will be celebrated by Hindus nationwide on Sunday, November 12, this year. – November 6, 2023
