Vegetable vendors say their sales have dwindled and profits have shrunk because of the increased transportation cost and the subsequent hike in the buying price.

Vegetable prices have skyrocketed in Delhi and adjoining areas owing to an increase in the transportation costs due to the hike in fuel prices. 

Vegetable vendors say their sales have dwindled and profits have shrunk because of the increased transportation cost and the subsequent hike in the buying price. This has forced them to sell vegetables at a higher price, which implies either a low margin for the sellers or limited sales.  

Dharmendra Singh, a vegetable seller in Delhi's Lajpat Nagar told PTI that the prices of tomatoes have gone up to Rs 40 per kg, and potatoes are now being sold at Rs 25 per kg.  

"Tomatoes are now being sold for Rs 40 per kg whereas earlier, the price was between Rs 25 and Rs 30. Bottle gourd is now being sold for Rs 40 per kg. Even the price of potatoes has gone up. It is now available for Rs 25 per kg. Earlier, it used to be sold for Rs 10 per kg," he stated.
