Why are customers paying three times the cost of a bottle of water? Jagran Business

Often when we are out of the house, when we are thirsty, we buy bottled water from the shop. For the last 20-30 years, the demand for bottled water in India is continuously increasing. People think that this water is pure, but is it really so...? Usually 1 liter of water is available in the market for Rs.20. Now the question becomes whether that bottle of water really costs Rs 20 and is as pure as we believe it to be? Here we will tell you what is the real cost of the bottle you buy for Rs.20 and how pure it is.

The reason for considering a water bottle as safe is because of the price we pay for it. The demand for bottled water is increasing continuously in the country, but at the same time adulteration is also increasing. We are paying a very high price for bottled water when we get tap water free of cost. The prices of different water brands vary, although typically a liter of bottled water costs around Rs 20 in the country. It is about 10,000 times more expensive than the water you get from the tap.
