Sugar and Onion Prices Stabilize Amid Government Measures but Onion Costs Remain High
Sugar and onion prices have shown signs of stabilization following government interventions such as stock limits and buffer stock sales. Sugar prices are now between 44 and 49 rupees per kilogram, while wholesale onion prices have decreased by 4 to 5 rupees per kilogram. However, retail onion prices remain above 50 rupees per kilogram due to delayed kharif crop arrivals and ongoing supply constraints. Experts expect some price relief from November when fresh crop arrivals increase.
