Around 54,000 tonnes of onion has been released across 14 states and Union Territories from the national buffer stock so far. This has resulted in stable onion prices all through the year. Further, to keep the onion retail prices stable, the government of India has offered onion to all the states/UTs and Mother Dairy, Safal, NCCF and Kendriya Bhandar to lift onion from Central Buffer Stock at the rate of Rs 800 per quintal.
