Rising vegetable prices have become a concern for households, with increasing grocery expenses putting pressure on family budgets. Onion prices have crossed ₹60 per kg in the retail market, while mustard oil has gone above ₹210 per kg. Pulses and several other vegetables have also become more expensive.
Amid this price rise, consumers in Lucknow have received some relief. The Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, through the National Cooperative Consumers’ Federation of India Limited (NCCF), has started selling onions at a subsidised rate of just ₹35 per kg.
The facility is available through NCCF mobile vans and authorised retail outlets operating across 13 locations in Lucknow. The initiative aims to make onions affordable for consumers and help control rising market prices.
