Onion is selling between Rs 80 to 100 per kg in most of the retail markets in the city.
On overall increase in prices of vegetable and fruits, Dikshit said the rates usually go up this time of the season and claimed that the prices will come down soon.
"We are moving from summer to winter vegetables. So there will be some alterations in prices of vegetables," she said.
Asked whether she was worried about possible impact of high onion prices in the election outcome, she rejected comparison between high onion prices in 1998 and now.
The BJP in 1998 assembly had lost power and its defeat is attributed to high onion prices.
Food and Supplies Minister Harun Yusuf said 1600 tonnes of onion arrived in Delhi today from various onion producing states.
Yusuf said traders have been selling onions through 55 mobile vans across the city at reasonable price for the last three days and the number of vans have been increased to 80 today.
"From Monday the sale would be available at around 600 places in the city. The vans would also be deployed on Sunday. Onion has been made available at Rs 55 a kg," he said.
