The retail price of onion in Delhi ranges between Rs 30 and 40 per kg.

The government on Friday said it will sell onion, pulses and edible oil in the open market from its buffer stocks and take immediate action against hoarders creating artificial shortages.

The retail price of onion in Delhi ranges between Rs 30 and 40 per kg. The wholesale price in the benchmark Lasalgaon mandi in Maharashtra was recorded at Rs 14.76 per kg on Thursday. The price rose after rains disrupted supplies as well as due to damaged crop in major-producing states of Maharashtra and Karnataka.

"The government is keeping an eye on rise in prices of pulses and edible oil in the past few days. The main reason is artificial shortage created by hoarders. The government will take immediate action against them," Food and Consumer Affair Minister Ram Vilas Paswan tweeted.

The government has sufficient stocks of pulses and oil seeds, he said.

Paswan added that he has written a letter to the agriculture ministry to sell pulses and oil seeds procured by Nafed in the open market, so that consumers can get these food items at reasonable prices.
