As the average retail price of onions across India witnesses a steep 57 percent increase, rising to Rs 47 per kg, the central government has taken steps to alleviate the burden on consumers by enhancing the sale of buffer onions at a subsidized rate of Rs 25 per kg in retail markets.

Data maintained by the Consumer Affairs Ministry reveals that the all-India average retail price of onions surged to Rs 47 per kg on Friday, a significant upswing from Rs 30 per kg during the same period last year.
