According to the CAA, the revised price of a kilo of imported milk powder will stand at Rs 935.
Meanwhile, a 400g packet of imported milk powder has been increased by Rs 5. This would mean that the price of a 400g packet would stand at Rs 375.
Samantha Karunaratne, the Deputy Director of the CAA told Times Online that the price change would be in effect only for stocks which had been imported since August 01.
