Onion prices have surged sharply in Hyderabad, with retail prices reportedly touching ₹65–₹70 per kg as arrivals to the city’s markets have declined.
Hyderabad: Onion prices have surged sharply in Hyderabad, with retail prices reportedly touching ₹65–₹70 per kg as arrivals to the city’s markets have declined.
The drop in supplies has put pressure on prices, leaving consumers facing a significant increase in their daily kitchen expenses. Traders attribute the price rise primarily to reduced arrivals from key producing regions, including Andhra Pradesh.
Amid the price surge, the Andhra Pradesh government has announced plans to sell onions at ₹32 per kg to provide relief to consumers. The move is expected to help ease the burden on households affected by the sudden rise in market prices.
With demand remaining steady and arrivals continuing to be lower than usual, onion prices could remain elevated in the near term. Authorities are expected to monitor market conditions and take further steps if necessary to control prices and ensure adequate supplies.
