Subsidised Onion Sales Begin in Visakhapatnam Amid Varied Demand in Vijayawada
Subsidised onion sales began at 35 per kg in Visakhapatnam's Rythu Bazaars, attracting large crowds eager for lower prices amid rising market rates of 60 to 70 per kg. Sales were limited to two kilograms per person with Aadhaar verification to ensure wider access. In contrast, Vijayawada's Rythu Bazaars saw modest demand, as the price difference with private markets was smaller. Officials noted rising prices for other vegetables due to recent heavy rains, with potential further increases expected.
