The Centre will begin selling onions at a subsidised rate of Rs 35 per kg in Delhi from Thursday as retail prices rise across India. Nafed, NCCF and Kendriya Bhandar will conduct the intervention using buffer stock.
According to a press release by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, this move is in response to the delay in the arrival of the kharif crop, which has contributed to an increase in onion prices.
