Bulk onion sales stabilised prices across mkts: Centre

The second train from Nashik reached Delhi on Wednesday, days after 1,600 tonnes of onions arrived through 'Kanda Express' on October 20.

Most of the onions will be used for retail sale at ₹35 per kg, unlike the first consignment which was used to cool down wholesale prices through auctions. The National Cooperative Consumer Federation of India (NCCF) procured the first railway train, while the second train was brought by the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED).

Data shows that wholesale prices of onions in Delhi's Azadpur Mandi have softened by almost 5 per cent since October 22.
