Un-fair price hike on Lipton tea bags by Hindustan Unilever Limited?

This has reference to the latest hike in the rates for the Lipton Green Tea (20 tea bags packet). The rate as on 01/2011 was Rs. 30.00 (Code no. UCGPR06A). The rate is hiked to Rs.50.00 as on 02/2011 (Code No. UCGPR04A). The increase is over 60%! The tea bags packages were bought in Navi Mumbai. Available for inspection.

We consumers strongly feel that there is no justification for such a steep increase without any change in the quality. This is unjust and unfair business practice. Consumer un-friendly.

I request that the Hindustan Unilever Limited management should review this again and do justice to the MRP.
