Mid-range stability observed in Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh with prices largely between Rs. 2,200–4,100 per quintal

India’s beetroot markets on 20 April 2026 displayed wide regional price variations, reflecting differences in supply chains, local demand, quality grades, and seasonal arrivals. Prices are reported uniformly in Rs./Quintal across all major mandis.

In the Northeast, Assam markets in Nagaon district, including Ambagan, Dhing, Doomdumia, and Haibargaon APMC yards, recorded relatively stable pricing, with beetroot trading between Rs. 1,800–2,100 per quintal and modal prices largely centered around Rs. 2,000 per quintal, indicating balanced supply-demand conditions in the region.

Northern hill states showed sharper price dispersion. In Himachal Pradesh, Hamirpur recorded prices between Rs. 2,000–3,000 per quintal with a modal price of Rs. 2,500 per quintal, while Kangra markets such as Jaisinghpur and Palampur reported significantly higher modal prices of Rs. 4,100 and Rs. 3,900 per quintal respectively. Mandi district remained comparatively moderate at Rs. 2,200 per quintal, reflecting localized supply differences.

Southern markets, particularly Kerala, emerged as high-price zones. Prices ranged widely from Rs. 2,600 per quintal in Pattambi to a peak of Rs. 7,200 per quintal in Thrippunithura. Key markets like Angamaly (Rs. 5,800 per quintal), Piravam (Rs. 4,000 per quintal), and Thalayolaparambu (Rs. 6,000 per quintal) indicate strong consumer demand and possibly tighter arrivals. Notably, Vadakkenchery recorded a high modal price of Rs. 6,250 per quintal, reinforcing the premium pricing trend across the state.

In Karnataka, Ramanagara APMC reported beetroot prices between Rs. 2,400–3,200 per quintal with a modal price of Rs. 3,000 per quintal, positioning the state in the mid-price range nationally.

Western India presented mixed trends. Maharashtra’s Pune APMC reported one of the lowest modal prices in the country at Rs. 1,050 per quintal, with arrivals priced between Rs. 600–1,500 per quintal, indicating either abundant supply or lower quality produce. Punjab’s Ludhiana market also remained subdued at Rs. 800 per quintal modal price. Rajasthan markets showed moderate levels, with Sriganganagar at Rs. 2,400 per quintal and Jaipur at Rs. 1,100 per quintal.

Tamil Nadu dominated market activity with extensive participation across dozens of Uzhavar Sandhai and APMC markets. Prices ranged broadly from Rs. 2,000 per quintal in Madhuranthagam and Kangayam to highs exceeding Rs. 6,000 per quintal in premium markets such as Hasthampatti (Rs. 6,100 per quintal) and Thathakapatti (Rs. 6,000 per quintal). Most markets, including Coimbatore, Salem, Namakkal, and Dindigul clusters, reported modal prices in the Rs. 4,000–5,750 per quintal range, indicating strong and consistent consumer demand supported by active local distribution systems.

Telangana markets reflected moderate pricing trends, with Kukatpally (Ranga Reddy) reporting a modal price of Rs. 1,500 per quintal and Warangal at Rs. 2,250 per quintal, suggesting steady but not aggressive demand conditions.

Overall, the national beetroot market on 20 April 2026 shows a clear stratification: premium pricing in Kerala and parts of Tamil Nadu, mid-range stability in Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh, and lower price bands in Maharashtra, Punjab, and select northern plains. The wide spread—from Rs. 600 to Rs. 7,500 per quintal—highlights significant regional imbalances, driven by logistics, perishability, and localized consumption patterns.
