«The price of onions has risen from Rs 60 to Rs 70 per kilo. We source them from the mandi, so the prices we receive there directly affect what we sell it for. Sales have dropped due to the price hike, but people are still buying onions because it's a crucial part of daily meals,» a seller in a Delhi market told ANI.
Consumers are also expressing concern over the price hike. Faiza, a buyer in Delhi, said, «The price of onions has shot up, even though it should have decreased according to the season. I just bought onions at Rs 70 per kilo, which has impacted our food habits. I urge the government to reduce the prices of vegetables, especially those we use daily.»
The price hike is not limited to Delhi alone. In Mumbai, buyers are also feeling the pinch.
«The price of onions and garlic has doubled. This price surge is affecting household budgets. I purchased 5 kilograms of onions for Rs 360,» Dr. Khan, a consumer in Mumbai, told the news agency.
