FMCG companies to push demand have distributors in a tizzy as they struggle for shelf space to manage inventory, prompting them to reach out to the government to restrict the number of pack sizes to four. Packaged products companies have hit back saying that is not feasible as consumer and channel requirements are differentiated. New smaller packs are «placing extra burden on retailers as they have to keep on adding new packs, leading to inventory management challenges, and impacting distribution efficiency,» said Dhairyashil Patil, national president of All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF). The federation, which represents more than 400,000 distributors and stockists, has written to the government suggesting there should only be four pack sizes — entry, small, medium, and large. Nestle, Hindustan Unilever, Britannia, Parle Products, Dabur, ITC and Coca-Cola are among many others that have launched multiple low-priced packs across noodles, toothpaste, soaps, soft drinks and biscuits as a strategy to counter the consumption slowdown due to inflation. They are also using smaller packs to fight off increased competition from regional brands. Products at the entry level are being packaged in multiple price points of Rs 5, Rs 7, Rs 10, Rs 14, Rs 15 and Rs 20, unlike earlier fixed pack prices such as Rs 5, 10 and 20. Nestle's entry-level Maggi noodles is now available in packs of Rs 7, 10 and 14, in addition to multiple large packs. «New pack sizes are introduced by companies on the basis of consumer convenience, pricing and need for smaller packs.

₹10 – the same price it charged more than two decades ago. The rollback appears to be in response to a sharp drop in volumes after it hiked the prices of its most affordable packs last year. The ₹5 pack went up to ₹7 while the larger pack’s price increased from ₹12 to ₹14.

consumer goods to push consumer demand has become a big challenge for distributors who are finding no space to store such products, leading them to write to the Ministry of Public Distribution that there should be only four pack sizes. The new smaller packs are “leading to retailer reluctance, placing extra burden on retailers as they have to keep on adding new packs, leading to inventory management challenges, and impacting distribution efficiency,” said Dhairyashil Patil, national president of the All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF), which represents more than four lakh distributors and stockists.
