The government is mulling banning onion exports to contain prices, which have risen back to the Rs 80-90/kg level in the national capital owing to supply crunch.

Not only in Delhi, consumers in other parts of the country are affected by rise in onion prices.

In major cities, onion is being sold at Rs 60-80 per kg in retail markets. The domestic availability of onion has been affected on account of damage to kharif crop because of unseasonal rains in key producing states including Maharashtra.
