For the second day, onion prices in Chennai hovered between Rs. 60 and Rs. 80. At Thiruvanmiyur in southern Chennai, Senthil Kumar, a driver earning Rs. 15,000 a month, says he can afford only half the quantity of onion he usually buys for his four-member family. Even lower quality onion costs Rs. 60 a kg, double of what it cost last week. "It's so difficult. We are unable to manage. I've cut consumption by 50 per cent. We use onion only if it's unavoidable," he said. Traders blame the situation on short supply from Nasik, a major onion hub. Large consignments have perished during rain last week across south India, they said.
