Onion prices to calm down in next few days: Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar

India Today  

Onion prices, which are ruling as high as Rs 70-80 per kg in some parts of the country, will calm down in the next few days with supply being boosted through agencies like Nafed, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said on Tuesday. Onion prices have gradually increased in the last one month due to supply disruption from flood-hit onion-growing states like Maharashtra. Last week's rainfall has further affected the supply, due to which onion prices have surged up to Rs 70-80 per kg in the national capital and other parts of the country, as per trade sources. It is offloading onion from its buffer stock through agencies like Nafed and National Cooperative Consumers' Federation of India which are selling at around Rs 22/kg and state-run Mother Dairy at Rs 23.90 per kg in the national capital.
