In contrast to staple vegetables, which are sold for between ₹30 and ₹50 per kilogramme, onion prices in Delhi and the national capital region have skyrocketed, reaching ₹70 to 60 per kilogramme. By the first week of November, the price of onions is probably going to reach ₹100 per kilogramme.
An onion vendor told ANI, “The inflow of the onion is low resulting in high rates. Today the rates are Rs. 350 (per 5 Kg). Yesterday, it was Rs. 300. It was Rs. 200 before that. A week ago, rates were Rs. 200, Rs. 160 or Rs. 250 etc. The rates have gone up in the last week. The rates have risen due to a shortage in supply.”
In similar fashion, the cost of onions has increased in Karnataka and Maharashtra, among other states. Onions were sold for ₹65–70 per kilogramme by the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) in Yeshwantpur, Bengaluru.
According to the Union Consumer Ministry, in states where prices have increased significantly, onions are being removed from the buffer stock in both the wholesale and retail markets. Approximately 1.7 lakh tonnes of buffer onions have been offloaded at various locations across 22 states since mid-August.
“We have been offloading buffer onions since mid-August and we are stepping up the retail sale in order to check further rise in prices and provide relief to the consumers,” Consumer Affairs Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh told PTI.
