The price of a 450-gram loaf of bread will increase by Rs.10 from midnight on 31 August, according to the bakery owners' association.
The price revision follows the recent increase in the price of wheat flour.
The association announced the bread-price change on Monday afternoon.
Rs.10 increase for 450g loaf
The announced increase applies to a standard 450-gram loaf of bread.
Its price will rise by Rs.10 from midnight.
The announcement follows a Rs.17 per kilogram increase in the price of wheat flour announced on 30 August.
Other bakery products
The bakery owners' association has also indicated that prices of other bakery products may be revised in response to higher input costs.
However, individual price increases for every bakery product should not be assumed without specific confirmation.
The Rs.10 figure confirmed in this report applies to the 450-gram loaf of bread.
Consumer-level impact of flour increase
Sineth News previously reported the increase in wheat-flour prices.
The bread-price announcement represents a subsequent consumer-level development associated with higher bakery input costs.
It is therefore being reported as a separate development rather than replacing the earlier wheat-flour story.
