Buy tomatoes at discounted price at these locations from this date!

Prices of tomato in retail markets on Saturday remained at an elevated level of up to Rs 250 per kilogramme across major cities due to monsoon rains and lean season.

The all-India average price stood at nearly Rs 117 per kg, according to government data.

To provide relief to retail consumers, the Centre is selling tomato at a discounted Rs 80 per kg in select cities like Delhi-NCR, Patna and Lucknow. About 18,000 kgs were sold in Delhi-NCR on Saturday through mobile vans.

National Cooperative Consumers' Federation of India (NCCF) and National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED) are selling tomato on behalf of the Centre through mobile vans.

"In addition to various parts of Delhi and Noida, sale of tomatoes at discounted rates started today at Lucknow, Patna and Muzaffarpur," Union Consumer Affairs Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh tweeted.
