At least you found something for people to see. I had mentioned in various places about it but never bothered to give such proof. They are pricing larger quantities more so that online retailers, big malls can give ‘big’ discounts on them and people will buy them happily. Most of these big products are always sold at ‘big’ discount.

small quantity product quality is worst as compared with big quantity because it is for lower income groups

compared to pouch price it should be 80, that means 27 extra for the Jar.

that’s the clear logic that avoids everyone even well-educated persons.

What is loot here?
Pricing has a very close relation to Supply + Demand
Compared to those mini sachets, people prefer to purchase the bigger pouches / jars / bottles often so the higher price
And for new customers, these small size packets act as sample packs so that they can try n make bigger purchases in the future
Also like someone mentioned above, the prices are exaggerated often for bigger packs &  plastic / glass jars too adding extra cost to the product price

+ This happens with everywhere that involves selling of goods/services

It’s loot if market is under wrong impression. If all buyers know of it, it’s free market under demand and supply regime. However, if it’s not known to all it’s loot.

Interesting thread. But understand the rationale here:

1. Small size items are meant to experiential purchase and/or bringing in more adopters. Some of the comments about quality of small size products are unwarranted.

2. Small size items are generally sold through small trade with minimal margins for the end retailer.

3. Large packs have additional overhead of packaging and transportation.

4. Large packs items are sold through modern retail with margins for everyone in the ecosystem.

Check this out Surf Excel Quick Wash Detergent Powder, 2 kg https://www.bigbasket.com/pd/40001002/surf-exce...

1 kg cost MRP 210
2 Kg cost MRP 450

So justifying smaller packs are inferior quality   or  are for lower income groups so substandard  blah blah ….  is not wise
There are many products in this weight  packaging also.

Also, i have noticed these 10 rupees , 20 rupees packs are targeted for village and town areas, they are priced lower on purpose.
