The government of India has announced a reduction in wholesale tomato prices from Sunday, July 16th. The prices of the fruit will now be sold at ₹80 per kg, after a thorough assessment of prices in over 500 locations across the country.
Today, sales have started in various cities such as Delhi, Noida, Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Patna, Muzaffarpur and Arrah through NAFED and NCCF. Tomorrow, the sale will be expanded to other cities, depending on the current market prices.
This initiative of the government of India has come as a ray of hope to the citizens who have been struggling to cope with the increasing prices of the fruit. In some locations, the prices were ruling exceptionally high, but now, with the government's intervention, tomatoes will be sold at the concessional rate of ₹90 per kg.
This reduction in prices will definitely be a sigh of relief for citizens who are already facing a financial crunch due to the rise in prices of other essential commodities.
