Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman addressed concerns about rising perishable commodity prices, citing government measures like importing pulses and offering essential items at concessional rates. Importing over 879,000 tonnes of tur dal and 1.51 million tonnes of masoor dal in 2023 aimed to stabilize domestic supplies. Initiatives like 'Bharat Dal' provide pulses at reduced prices, with 297,000 tonnes of chana sold cheaper. Additionally, 396,000 tonnes of onions were released at concessional rates to curb inflation.
