The TN Govt will manufacture and supply cost-effective mineral
water, as part of its emphasis on programmes aimed at reducing the
impact of inflation on the poor.
They will market mineral water, packaged in plastic bottles, at Rs.10 a litre. The price line would make the product attractive, as private brands were sold at Rs.20 a litre and that of Railways at Rs.15
The TN Govt. decision to market safe packaged drinking water is in line with similar measures aimed at helping households beat the inflation.
The first of the 10 Mineral Water Plants is to be established in Gummidipoondi in neighbouring Tiruvallur district. The plant, with a capacity to produce three lakh litres a day, would be opened on the birth anniversary of former Chief Minister C. Annadurai on September 15. Sale from the plant would start on the same day.
