Concerned by the shooting retail prices of onion, which is presently hovering between Rs 60 and Rs 100 per kg, the Modi govt is set to import 11,000 MT of onion from Turkey.
The govt had imposed the limits in September, under which retailers could stock only up to 100 quintals of onions, and wholesale traders up to 5,000 quintals.
Onion is a seasonal crop, and offseason shortages result in sky-high prices in September-November each year. But politicians’ response creates more distortions.
NAFED stored its buffer stock of 57,372 MT onions using traditional methods as opposed to cold storage. Over half of it got destroyed due to moisture & rain.
Officials from Intelligence Bureau, RAW, ED and I-T department have been mandated to work with agriculture and consumer affairs ministries to check onion prices.
Traders are expected to receive close to 1,000 tonnes of onion by the end of the month to help ease prices which remained high despite government intervention.
Mamdani’s politics feels unusual compared to India’s current climate. He unapologetically foregrounds Muslim identity at a time when doing so in India invites scrutiny.
On 4 November 2025, NCLAT bench, comprising Chairperson Justice Ashok Bhushan and Member Arun Baroka, noted that WhatsApp and Meta are distinct legal entities.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Yeah, Right. Stamped Indian foreign policy and its collateral damage called Onions!!!.
Good. Business n politics should co-exist.
