Onion Price Today: Prices Rise in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh – Check Which Mandis Are Offering the Highest Rates

Today, onion markets across India witnessed mild fluctuations, but some regions brought relief to farmers with improved prices. While old stock onions saw slightly weaker demand, fresh and high-quality onions fetched better prices in several mandis.

At present, buyers are mostly preferring clean, shiny, and large-sized onions. Experts say demand remains steady for now, but if arrivals drop in the coming days, onion prices may rise further.
Currently, Maharashtra’s mandis are proving to be the most profitable for farmers, with premium-grade onions selling between ₹1,500 and ₹1,600 per quintal.

Overall, today’s mandi trends remained “mixed but promising.” While some mandis reported stable prices, others saw sharp gains showing that farmers are gradually getting better returns. In the coming weeks, weather conditions and arrivals will play a major role in determining how much higher the latest mandi prices can go.
