For the past several days, supply has decreased, and the number of trucks arriving at the market has been about 90–95, which is insufficient to fulfill the demand.

Onion prices in wholesale markets have risen from Rs. 2 to Rs. 5 per kilogram. Onions are currently selling for Rs. 18–Rs. 22 per kg at the APMC market, up from a previous price range of Rs. 15–Rs. 18 per kg. Retail markets are considerably more expensive, with onions fetching prices ranging from Rs. 30 to Rs. 35 per kg.
