Chandigarh Vegetable Price Hike Latest News Today: The prices of vegetables are increasing very fast. Today, the prices of Tomato in Chandigarh have soared to Rs 70 per kg at the city's apni mandi. There was a significant increase in the prices from Rs 30 per kg on June 21 and Rs 60 per kg on July 3. Consumers are feeling the pinch as tomato rates soar to Rs 80 per kg at some places.

With local supply severely impacted, the apni mandis in Chandigarh have turned to neighbouring states to meet the demand. This shift is expected to further drive up prices as transportation and logistics add to the costs.
