Government sells 4,000 tonnes of buffer onions in 10 days to curb prices
The Indian government has sold 4,000 tonnes of onions from its buffer stock over ten days, pricing them at 35 rupees per kilogram. The scheme, now covering 17 cities, aims to lower market prices and stabilize supply. It follows recent spikes in onion costs that have pressured household budgets, and officials hope the release will increase availability and temper inflationary pressures.
