Revised price Rs.1,850 per 50 kg bag

By Chaturanga Samarawickrama

The price of a 50 kg cement bag has been increased to Rs.1,850.

The price increase was due to the current dollar crunch and fuel price increase, the dealers said. Before the price increase, a 50 kg cement bag was sold at Rs.1,350. Though the prices have gone up, there is an acute shortage of cement in the market.
