Onions touch Rs 165/kg, Centre banks on imports

The govt expects to get at least 35,000 tonnes of imported onion from next week onwards to increase availability as mandis across the country wait to get enough supply of domestic onion. Union consumer affairs minister Ram Vilas Paswan tweeted that Centre is importing 6,090 tonnes of onions from Egypt and another 11,000 tonnes from Turkey. These will land in India between December 15 and January 15.
