Tomato prices have again hit the roof in the national capital with Mother Dairy selling the key kitchen staple at a whopping ₹259 per kg on August 2 via its Safal retail stores.
Tomato prices have been under pressure for more than a month now on account of supply disruptions caused due to heavy rainfall in the key producing regions.
With central government's intervention through sale of tomatoes at a subsidised rate since July 14, retail prices in the national capital had begun softening recently but have again firmed up due to short supply.
