Government Rejects Onion Export Curbs, Starts ₹35/kg Buffer Sales

The government says there are enough onions available in the country.

Because onion prices often rise during festivals, it is selling some stored onions more cheaply.

These onions are being sold for ₹35 per kilogram.

Mobile vans and shops in Delhi have started selling them.

The government is also sending onions to cities across the country by train and road.

It says it does not need to stop onion exports right now.

Officials warned that people who hoard onions or sell them illegally could face action.

The goal is to keep onions affordable while festive demand increases.
