1. News Summary (from the HTML block):

2. Pricing Information:
* Issue: Companies are allowed to continue using existing product packaging until January 31, 2026. However, thay are only permitted to add the new price to the existing packaging, rather than reprint it.
* Example: A biscuit pack previously priced at Rs 25 might now be sold for Rs 40, with both prices displayed on the same package.
* Concern: This practice is expected to cause confusion among customers who may not easily understand the price change.
