Onam turnover of ₹422.17 crore highest in recent times: Supplyco Keralam
Kerala's Supplyco reported a record-breaking turnover of over ₹422 crore during the Onam festival season. The success is attributed to stable pricing and the availability of subsidized essential goods for the public.
Why it matters
The data reflects the impact of state-run retail interventions on consumer spending and inflation management during major festivals.
The turnover of Kerala State Civil Supplies Corporation (Supplyco) from Onam sales this year exceeded ₹422.17 crore as on Tuesday evening, the highest in recent times.
During the term of the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government last year, the turnover was ₹385.42 crore over 35 days from August 1 to September 4 (Thiruvonam was on September 5 in 2025). Subsidised products accounted for ₹180.03 crore and non-subsidised ₹205.11 crore.
This year, the turnover in the 25 days from August 1 was ₹350.21 crore, a statement here said. It increased to ₹422.17 crore in the 35 days from July 22.
This was the result of reducing the price of many items and not hiking the price of most subsidised items, leading to better public response.
Of the ₹422.17 crore turnover this year, subsidised items accounted for ₹153.49 crore and non-subsidised items ₹268.89 crore.
