To facilitate farmers, the state government has extended the deadline for registering to sell Toor at the Minimum Support Price until May 15, 2025. Earlier, the last date was set as April 30. The MSP for Toor in the Rabi season 2024–25 has been fixed at ₹7,550 per quintal, while the maximum market price in local mandis currently hovers around ₹6,600 per quintal. Selling Toor at the MSP will, therefore, offer better returns for farmers.
Farmers who have cultivated Toor during the Rabi season are advised to visit their nearest registration centers with all necessary documents and complete their registration by May 15, ensuring they receive a fair price for their produce.
