The lemon price hike is majorly due to a shortage in supply and high demand during the ongoing summer season. Customers and wholesalers said that the production of lemon is less this time and due to rising temperature and festivals, the demand has soared. The summer season has just started and the prices have already gone up. Among vegetables, as of now, one of the steepest hikes has been witnessed in the prices of lemon and chillies in Rajkot.

Lemon prices have also skyrocketed in Telangana, Rajasthan and several other parts of the country. Lemons are being sold for Rs 70 to Rs 90 per kg in Azadpur Mandi, the largest wholesale market in Delhi. Lemon price soared to Rs 240 per kg in Gujarat and Rs 160 a kg in Karnataka. In Jaipur, lemons are being sold for around Rs 400 per kg.
