On the other hand, if we talk about the average price in the whole country, it has increased by more than 18 rupees. These conditions are only of government prices, which are released by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs. If we measure the prices of street vendors, then the prices of tomatoes in Delhi have crossed 90 to 100 rupees per kilogram (tomato price).

These days, due to the rising inflation, not only Delhi but most of the consumers of the country are troubled. Now a big announcement has been made by the government to give relief to the common people. 

Giving relief to the common people, the central government has announced to sell tomatoes at Rs 60 per kilogram.

You will get some relief by knowing that to give relief from the rising prices of tomatoes, the National Cooperative Consumers Union of India will start selling tomatoes at a subsidized rate of Rs 60 per kg in the National Capital Region-Delhi region from Monday. 

This step has been taken at a time when tomato prices have risen due to supply disruptions due to recent rains in the producing centers. NCCF said in the statement that this facility will start on July 29, 2024 and will gradually expand to other places in Delhi-NCR in the coming days.
