Onion prices are climbing throughout India, reaching a national retail average of ₹42 per kilogram. Costs are trending upward once more due to restricted supply and late shipments, which have driven up wholesale rates. Furthermore, early rainfall has resulted in significant damage to stored onion inventories. It is projected that the production of Rabi onions, which typically provides 60-65% of the country's yearly supply, will drop by 5-7% this season.
