The humble onion is refusing to soften the strain on India's household budgets, with retail prices staying elevated across major cities despite the Centre stepping in with subsidised supplies from its buffer stock, news agency PTI reported on September 22.
Onion prices in retail markets across metro cities ranged between Rs 53 and Rs 60 per kg on Tuesday, even as the government continued selling the kitchen staple at Rs 35 per kg to contain prices.
