The prices of Onion were four times higher as compared to last year. On Nov 29, 2018, the wholesale prices of onion in Delhi's Azadpur Mandi were between Rs 2.5/kg-16/kg. Whereas, it traded between Rs 20-62.5 per kg now. The central government has decided to import 1.2 lakh tonnes of onions to improve the domestic supply and control prices. State-owned MMTC has also signed contracts with Egypt for onion imports.
