Onion Costliest at Rs 100/kg in Bengaluru, Lowest at Rs 35/kg in Udaipur and Rampurhat

News 18  

Onion, a politically-sensitive commodity, remained costliest in the retail markets of Bengaluru at Rs 100 per kg on Monday despite Karnataka being the third-largest producer of the kitchen staple in the country, according to government data. A similar situation prevailed in Delhi, one of the major consuming markets, where retail prices were firm at Rs 65 per kg, in Kolkata at Rs 70 per kg and Chennai at Rs 72 per kg on Monday, as per the government data. Retail prices maintained by the government are normally lower by Rs 10-20 per kg than the trade data as prices differ depending on the quality and locality. Onion prices have soared for the last few weeks due to tight supplies following damage to this year’s kharif crop in the wake of heavy rainfall in the key growing states of Maharashtra and Karnataka.
