Retail prices of staple veggies drop 25%, but still higher than last year

"Tomatoes, potatoes and onions are the most consumed vegetables in India. The prices of these three have remained high for quite some time now. Vegetable inflation will gradually come down in the fourth quarter. We are estimating the overall inflation to fall under 4.5% in March," said Dharmakirti Joshi, chief economist, CRISIL.
