**ITC Raises Cigarette Prices Again**

ITC has raised prices again. Classic Connect’s 20-cigarette pack now costs ₹428, up from ₹390—an increase of ₹38 or 9.74%. Gold Flake Super Star’s 10-cigarette pack costs ₹89, up from ₹79—an increase of ₹10 or 12.66%. 

The increase follows earlier hikes this year after cigarettes and other tobacco products moved to 40% GST and a revised excise-duty structure took effect from February 1.
