Railways to raise price of Rail Neer

 Railway Ministry has given the clearance to a proposal to increase the rate of packaged drinking water Rail Neer from Rs 12 to Rs 15 per one litre bottle.

 The price of the 500 ml bottle will be increased from Rs 8 to Rs 10, as per the decision.
 IRCTC, which manufactures and supplies the packaged drinking water in rail premises, had sought the ministry's approval for revising the rate of Rail Neer and we have given the approval for the same, said a senior Railway Ministry official.

 According to IRCTC, the demand for Rail Neer at railway stations has increased steadily and there is a huge gap between the existing production capacity of the plants and the demand.
