Price & Arrival Analysis:

• Highest Price: Solapur (Maharashtra) recorded the day’s peak at ₹2,400/quintal for red onions due to strong demand.
• Lowest Price: Surprisingly, Solapur also had the day’s lowest price at ₹100/quintal, caused by an oversupply of lower-quality onions.
• Delhi Markets: Prices in Azadpur and Keshopur ranged between ₹1,100–₹2,000/quintal, showing stable but high rates in North India.
• Heavy Arrivals: Lasalgaon, Pimpalgaon, and Kalwan saw arrivals exceeding 900–1,100 tonnes, keeping prices steady.
• Low Arrivals: In smaller markets like Pune, Ramtek, and Hingna, limited supply pushed prices up to ₹1,500–₹2,000/quintal.

• Focus on Quality: Onions with good size and low moisture are fetching above ₹2,000/quintal.
