The Kerala government announced plans to run its Supplyco stores around the clock and to broaden the subsidy scheme for the upcoming Onam festival.
The state government has revealed that all Supplyco outlets will be opened 24 hours a day to provide continuous access to essential goods for residents. The move is aimed at ensuring that people can purchase necessities at any time, especially during the festive season.
In addition to the extended hours, the administration plans to increase subsidies for Onam, the major harvest festival celebrated across Kerala. The expanded subsidy will cover a broader range of items, helping families prepare for the celebrations without financial strain.
Officials said the changes will be implemented in the coming weeks, with a focus on improving supply chain efficiency and customer convenience. The initiative is part of a broader effort to boost public services and support the local economy during the festival period.
