New Delhi: In a bid to control the sky-rocketing prices of onion in the retail market, the Narendra Modi led BJP Government will import 11,000 Metric Tons (MT) of onion from Turkey in addition to 6,090 MT from Egypt.
According to the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, the Metals and Minerals Trading Corporation of India (MMTCI) has placed the order on Centre's behalf, which will reach India later this month. The staple food has crossed the century-mark in most of the regions and the prices are expected to touch Rs. 150 per kg in the coming days.
