In a significant relief for consumers, the Utility Stores Corporation (USC) has reduced prices on more than 170 essential products across Pakistan, according to a report by 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday. The price cuts, ranging from Rs10 to Rs190, have been implemented immediately and will benefit shoppers nationwide.
A spokesperson for the Utility Stores Corporation confirmed that the reductions cover a wide range of products, including tea, various spices, and other essential goods that are part of everyday household use. This move comes as part of the USC’s ongoing efforts to support consumers amid rising inflation and the increasing cost of living.
The spokesperson emphasized that these discounts are accessible to all citizens, with no conditions or requirements needed to shop at utility stores. “Every citizen, regardless of location or income level, is welcome to benefit from the reduced prices at utility stores across the country,” the spokesperson stated.
The USC, a government-owned entity, has been at the forefront of providing affordable essentials to the public, especially during challenging economic times. This latest price reduction is seen as an important step in alleviating financial pressure on Pakistani households, offering them greater access to necessary items at lower prices.
This initiative is expected to have a positive impact on millions of consumers, particularly in the context of inflationary pressures that have affected basic commodities in recent months. Utility stores, which operate throughout Pakistan, have become a trusted source for affordable essentials, and the new price cuts further strengthen their role in providing relief to the masses.
Local citizens have expressed their appreciation for the price reductions, noting that such measures can help them manage their household expenses more effectively. The USC is expected to continue offering such initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to providing affordable and accessible goods to the public.
This announcement comes amid broader efforts by the government to stabilize prices and support the public during a time of economic difficulty. Consumers are encouraged to visit their nearest utility store to take advantage of the price cuts now in effect.
