Annamayya district began selling onions at a subsidised rate of Rs 35 per kg at Rythu Bazaars in Madanapalle and Rayachoti from Tuesday, 10 November. The stocks arrived from Nashik on Monday under a market intervention programme, with each buyer limited to two kg on production of an Aadhaar card. Marketing Department Assistant Director T Thyagaraju said the initiative aims to provide relief to consumers from market prices that have crossed Rs 50 per kg. He urged residents to use the facility to keep essential commodities affordable.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The subsidised rate cuts the retail price by nearly a third for households in two towns, but the two-kg cap and Aadhaar requirement limit how much relief each family can get. The scheme depends on stocks procured from Maharashtra, leaving supply-chain disruptions as a risk. With prices still above Rs 50 per kg in open markets, the government is betting that targeted sales through Rythu Bazaars will cool the local market without a broader price control.
