MUMBAI Retailers will start charging for shopping bags up to Rs 7
from Friday in line with the government notification to charge customers for the plastic carry bags from July 1. This initiative will be first piloted in Mumbai before being rolled out across the country. “Charging consumers would lead to a substantial drop in consumption of plastic bags. It will also allow flexibility to service consumers who are ready to pay, said Kumar Rajagopalan, CEO of Retailers Association of India, the industry body that represents companies such as Future group, Aditya Birla More, Reliance Retail and Shoppers Stop. — Our Bureau
