Green chilli market prices reach ₹10,000! check latest rates in haryana, maharashtra, bihar and gujarat

Green chilli prices showed a wide variation across mandis on (August 17, 2026). Ladwa Market in Haryana recorded the highest maximum price of ₹10,000 per quintal, with arrivals of only 0.5 tonnes. In contrast, several other markets reported prices in the ₹1,000–₹3,000 range.

The market data also shows that higher arrivals do not necessarily translate into higher prices. Maharashtra's Junnar markets received more than 30 tonnes of green chillies, but the maximum rates remained at ₹5,900–₹6,000 per quintal. This indicates that crop quality and local demand are also important factors behind price differences.

For farmers planning to sell their produce, comparing nearby market rates along with arrivals, quality and transportation costs can help in making a more informed selling decision. Here is the complete mandi-wise green chilli price and arrival data for August 17.
