The first-batch of imported onion weighing 790-tonnes has reached India and some-quantities are being distributed to Delhi and Andhra-Pradesh at a landing-cost of Rs.57-60/kg, a senior Consumer Affairs Ministry official said. An approximately 12,000-tonne of onion shipment is expected to arrive by end of December, he stated. Onion prices have failed to cool down despite several government measures in the last few weeks.
