Centre Supplies 1,000 MT Onions to Delhi at Rs 35 per Kg to Curb Price Rise
The Centre is supplying 1,000 metric tonnes of onions to Delhi, to be sold at Rs 35 per kg through fair price shops and mobile vans across 13 districts, aiming to curb rising prices and ensure availability. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta emphasized monitoring prices and preventing shortages. Similar measures are underway in Tamil Nadu, where the state government plans to distribute onions at the same rate to ration card holders amid supply disruptions caused by weather. The Centre has expanded this subsidized onion sale to 19 cities to ease price pressures ahead of the festive season.
