Generally, an average of 260 to 270 trucks delivers the vegetables. With the reported increase in growth, 320 trucks have been delivering vegetables over the last few days.
This excess quantity has led to a reduction in prices of vegetables.
The prices of drumstick which was extremely costly, has now come down to Rs. 120/- per kg from Rs. 150/- per kg.
The prices of other vegetables like tomato, onion, radish, and bitter gourd have also fallen.
