Onion is a kitchen essential vegetable and most households cannot cook without using it. But with the recent skyrocketing of prices, people would rather skip it. The government is trying to make up for the shortage of supply through imports but as of now, there is no sign of the rates coming down. Amul Topical which is known for showcasing the recent news, happenings, achievements or any trends through their ads, have made one on rising onion prices too. Amul's Topical Ad on Communication With Vikram Lander Has People 'Loving Them to The Moon and Back'.

As per reports, the price of the bulb has touched as high as Rs 165/kg in some retail markets. In most cities, the rates are above Rs 100/kg. The main reason behind these skyrocketing prices is the unseasonal rains that we experienced this year, which damaged most of the onion produce.
