Though the recent showers in Hyderabad seem to have given residents some respite from the scorching heat, the prices of a few vegetables have remained hot.
On Saturday, green chillies sold in neighbourhood markets cost between ₹120 and ₹130 per kilo. The price for a kilo of tomatoes too was higher than that of last week by about ₹30.
“The supply of tomatoes was low today. I am unsure of the reason, but it could be on account of summer. The prices of a lot of vegetables have increased,” said Mohammed Yasin, a vegetable seller, adding that prices of ivy gourd, potatoes, and ladies finger, have remained largely the same.
