Sale of onions at ₹35 per kg via fair price shops launched in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu's government has begun offering onions at a fixed price of 35 rupees per kilogram through its network of fair price shops. The scheme aims to make the staple vegetable more affordable amid recent price spikes. The state will procure onions from farmers and distribute them directly to consumers, seeking to stabilize market rates and support low‑income households.
