Matchbox prices are all set to rise after 14 years, as the rising inflation increased the prices of the raw materials. With the upcoming revision, the retail price of matchboxes will be doubled to Rs 2 from the current price of Rs 1 starting from December 1, 2021. The last hike in matchbox prices had come in 2007 when the rate of a single box was increased from 50 paise to Rs 1.
