Hindustan Unilever Cuts Prices: New Rates for Dove, Horlicks, Surf Excel & More. More at peace for consumers across the country, Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL). It has now cut different popular products, including Dove soaps, Horlicks health drinks, and Surf Excel detergent, among others.

To bring down the cost of living, household goods under one of the most extensive HUL portfolios will now be cheaper. Dove soap is such luxury in the department of beauty with high-end stature. Retail price becoming cheaper will allow the otherwise aspirational product accessibility into the mass. Horlicks, on the contrary, is a nutritional health drink that has been revised downwards for the masses to buy.
The laundry and cleaning products Surf Excel are also sidewardly cut which command a good market share in India across categories of detergents. It is bound to ease some comfort to households battling with high monthly expenses. Price reductions may also apply to all daily-use products under brands like Pepsodent and Lifebuoy.
Reasons for the Price Cuts Now
The FMCG sector has been under pressure recently due to inflation and low rural demand. HUL hopes to spur demand and increase penetration in rural areas while providing immediate savings for consumers via the price reduction. Experts say this move could force other FMCGs to join the price cuts too.
To Consumer
With prices for soap, detergent, and health drinks going low, the average household could expect a significant cut in their monthly grocery bills. Sales figures in the coming months are expected to swell, especially in rural and semi-urban markets with high price sensitivities.
