Government sells tomatoes at Rs 65 per kg in Delhi as crop damage tightens supply

Mobile vans bring cheaper tomatoes, but supply shocks

To curb soaring tomato prices, the government is selling tomatoes at Rs 65 per kg via mobile vans in Delhi and nearby cities. The spike is linked to unseasonal rains in Maharashtra that damaged crops, while delayed sowing and rising pest pressures have reduced supply. A price stabilization fund is reportedly helping manage costs.
