లడ్డూలతో TTD వ్యాపారం
The TTD is toying with the idea of fixing a uniform price for its famed laddu to compensate for the huge loss — estimated to be ₹200 crore per annum — arising out of its sales.
At present, the TTD is reportedly incurring a loss of over ₹200 crore in the manufacturing and sale of its laddus every year.
Even though the steep increase in the prices of ingredients used in the making of laddus is said to be the main reason behind the mounting losses, the indiscriminate subsidy and disparity in the selling prices are also contributing factors.
The manufacturing cost of each laddu is estimated to be around ₹39 but it is sold to devotees at varying prices.
While the devotees attending various ‘Arjitha Sevas’ and ₹300 special entry darshan tickets are provided two laddus free of cost, pilgrims opting for Dharma Darshan are provided with four laddus at ₹70 (two laddus at ₹25 each and two laddus at a subsidized price of ₹10 each in contrast to five laddus to those reaching on foot for the same price.
