Kathmandu, Aug 17: The Nepal Bottle Water Industries Association (NBWIA) has urged traders to sell jar and bottled water not exceeding the set prices. Organizing a press conference on Thursday, the association said it made such a request following complaints that traders were charging the customers rampantly while selling the jar and bottled water. The association’s President Dhurba Gautam said they were effortful in expediting the market monitoring to ensure jar and bottled water are sold at the set prices.


“In the Kathmandu Valley, a 20-liter water jar is sold for a set price of Rs 45 to Rs 47, and a one-liter bottled water for Rs 16. Outside the Valley, the price for a 20-liter jar of water is fixed at Rs 60 and a one-liter bottled water at Rs 20. Selling the water exceeding the set price is subject to action,” he said.

So far, over 50 traders and industrialists found selling bottled and jar water exceeding the set price have faced action, said Chemjong.
