The railways ministry said it has formulated a comprehensive uniform policy to arrange pure drinking water available at a selling price lower than the currently available commercial packaged drinking water.
WVMs will dispense purified water applying Reverse Osmosis (RO) or alternate superior technology at a selling price of Rs.2 with containers for 300 ml and Rs.25 for a five litre bottle.
Refills without containers are priced a little lower at Re.1 for 300 ml, Rs.3 for 500 ml, Rs.5 for one litre, Rs.8 for two litres and Rs.20 for five litres, the ministry said in a statement. (IANS)
