If you are planning to sell onions or closely track daily mandi prices, today’s update is extremely important. The situation emerging from major onion mandis of Madhya Pradesh on 14 January 2026 clearly shows that the market is currently driven entirely by arrivals and supply dynamics.

This surge in supply directly impacted prices, keeping rates under pressure in several trading sessions. On the other hand, Mandsaur, Sarangpur, Ratlam, and Sailana witnessed very limited arrivals, allowing farmers to secure prices above ₹1,600 per quintal.
In short, the same state and the same day delivered sharply different outcomes markets with excess supply saw weaker prices, while mandis with tight availability forced buyers to bid higher.
