Onion Market Prices Today - (17 April, 2026)

Farmers, today’s onion market once again proves that profit does not depend only on production, but also on choosing the right mandi. If you are planning to sell your crop, understanding today’s mandi prices is extremely important.

According to today’s mandi update (17 April 2026), onion market prices in Madhya Pradesh show a massive variation. In some markets, prices have dropped to ₹100–₹500 per quintal, while in others the latest mandi price has reached ₹1,700–₹2,000 per quintal.

This huge difference is mainly due to arrival volume and market location. Mandis like Indore are under price pressure due to heavy supply, while markets like Karera, Jabalpur, and Burhanpur are offering better prices due to limited arrivals.

  • Farmers with good-quality, properly dried onions can earn better profits in low-arrival mandis
  • Avoid selling in haste in high-supply markets
  • Choosing the right mandi can directly impact your income
