The Centre on Wednesday decided to give flexibility to state Governments to set retail price of PDS sugar that has been kept unchanged at Rs 13.50 per kg since 2002. The decision in this regard was taken by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "The CCEA has approved the proposal on PDS sugar price," an highly placed source said. Now, State Governments will have the flexibility to fix the retail price of sugar, either lower or higher than the existing rate, and bear the cost accordingly.
