Protest mode : Members of the Tamil Nadu Consumer Products Distributors’ Associations Federation staging a demonstration in the city on Wednesday.
Distributors of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs) staged a protest here on Wednesday, as part of a State-wide demonstration, against dual pricing by multi-national companies (MNCs).
Mohan Shankar, chairman of the Tamil Nadu Consumer Products Distributors’ Associations Federation, said the main demand of the distributors is equal pricing on all platforms by the MNCs.
“We (distributors) have lost 20 % to 25 % business, especially after lockdown. If a product is supplied to us at ₹ 100 a piece, it is sold online at a lower price. With the turnover reducing for the distributors, there are several drivers, helpers and salesmen who have lost their job,” he said.
