In response to skyrocketing tomato prices, the NCCF will start selling tomatoes at a subsidized rate of Rs 60 per kg in the Delhi-NCR region starting Monday, says its young Chairman Vishal Singh.
Singh says the measure follows supply disruptions due to recent rains in key producing areas. As of July 27, retail prices in Delhi were at Rs 77 per kg, with some areas exceeding Rs 80 per kg.
The subsidized tomatoes will be available at various locations, including Krishi Bhawan, CGO Complex, and INA Market, among others, aiming to stabilize the market and provide relief to consumers.
