New Delhi, 11 November 2024: Soaring onion prices have sparked anger among consumers as rates in several major cities surged from ₹40-60 per kg to ₹70-80 per kg in the wholesale market.
Despite a drop in sales due to rising costs, demand remains strong as onions are a staple in Indian households.
In Delhi, prices hit ₹80 per kg as of November 8, 2024, defying seasonal trends where rates typically decline.
Similar price hikes have been reported in other states, including Mumbai, adding to the nationwide distress over escalating onion costs.
