Following the orders of Airports Authority of India, more than 90 government-run airports across the country will soon sell packaged drinking water at the maximum retail price (MRP) along with snacks and tea at the lowest rate possible. This move came after a complaint lodged by a passenger, according to officials familiar with the development, reports Hindustan Times.
The report said that AAI has asked airports to sell packaged water and snacks at MRP at a separate counter. However, these rules are not applicable to some of India’s biggest airports — Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Kochi, as these airports are run by private companies.
“We have asked airport directors to ask the company that is managing food courts at airports to have a counter where water bottles and sandwiches are sold at MRP. We have also told them to sell tea and coffee at Rs 10. They will also ensure that some cheap snacks, such as samosa, are sold at lesser rates,” said a senior AAI official who asked not to be named, HT cited.
