Jaipur records massive 608 MT arrivals, while Warangal crosses 200 MT amid softer pricing trends

India’s mango markets on April 24, 2026, recorded significant price volatility driven by a sharp increase in arrivals across major producing and trading centers. The latest all-India mandi data shows a wide pricing spectrum, ranging from as low as Rs 800 per quintal in high-supply southern markets to as high as Rs 22,000 per quintal for premium varieties, indicating the onset of peak-season dynamics and a structurally segmented market.

Large-scale arrivals in key mandis have begun to exert downward pressure on prices, particularly for bulk and processing varieties. Rajasthan’s Jaipur APMC reported the highest arrivals at 608.30 metric tonnes, with prices ranging between Rs 3,000 and Rs 13,000 and a modal price of Rs 8,000 per quintal, reflecting both scale and price dispersion. Telangana’s Warangal APMC recorded combined arrivals exceeding 200 metric tonnes across varieties such as Badami, Dusheri, and Totapuri, with modal prices settling at Rs 3,170, Rs 4,900, and Rs 2,150 per quintal respectively. Similarly, Karnataka’s Channapatna APMC saw aggregate arrivals of over 180 metric tonnes, where lower-grade and processing varieties such as Neelam and Totapuri traded between Rs 800 and Rs 2,500 per quintal, underscoring clear oversupply conditions in bulk segments.

Despite this supply-driven softening, premium mango varieties continued to command strong price realization across select markets. Rajasthan’s Jodhpur APMC reported Alphonso (Hapus) mangoes trading at a modal price of Rs 16,000 per quintal, with peak prices reaching Rs 22,000, reflecting sustained demand for high-quality fruit. In Himachal Pradesh, Safeda and Grade A varieties maintained firm pricing between Rs 11,500 and Rs 12,500 per quintal despite relatively limited arrivals, indicating resilience in premium segments. Select markets in Punjab also recorded prices up to Rs 12,000 per quintal, highlighting localized demand strength for superior grades.

Markets across northern India, particularly in Haryana and Punjab, demonstrated relative stability with modal prices largely ranging between Rs 6,000 and Rs 9,000 per quintal. This stability is supported by moderate arrivals and balanced demand conditions, although some variability persists due to differences in quality and variety mix. For instance, Ludhiana recorded a broad price range from Rs 2,500 to Rs 7,000 per quintal, while other markets such as Chamkaur Sahib and Ahmedgarh registered higher price points, reflecting niche demand pockets.

In southern India, retail-oriented markets continued to support higher price realizations compared to bulk wholesale mandis. Tamil Nadu’s Uzhavar Sandhai markets reported prices generally ranging from Rs 9,000 to Rs 14,000 per quintal, with select transactions reaching Rs 15,000, driven by direct consumer demand and shorter supply chains. Kerala markets exhibited similar trends, with Grade A mangoes trading up to Rs 8,000 per quintal, supported by steady local consumption patterns.

Maharashtra presented a mixed pricing landscape, with Shrirampur APMC recording strong modal prices of Rs 11,000 per quintal alongside arrivals of 9 metric tonnes, while Nagpur’s Kamthi APMC reflected weaker pricing at Rs 2,310 per quintal, influenced by variety composition and early-season supply pressures. In eastern markets such as Odisha, prices remained moderate, with modal values ranging between Rs 2,400 and Rs 5,800 per quintal depending on variety and arrival volumes.

The current market signals point to a transitional phase in India’s mango season, characterized by increasing arrivals and widening price differentials across regions and varieties. Bulk segments are likely to face continued downward pressure as supply intensifies in the coming weeks, particularly in southern and western markets. However, premium varieties are expected to retain higher margins due to quality differentiation and sustained demand, resulting in a dual-speed market structure.

Overall, the mango market on April 24, 2026, reflects a complex interplay of supply expansion, regional concentration, and consumer preference for quality. With prices spanning from Rs 800 to Rs 22,000 per quintal, stakeholders across the value chain are likely to navigate heightened volatility as the season progresses toward its peak.
