Ghazipur market in Delhi recorded the highest maximum price of ₹4,900 per quintal, while Azadpur reached ₹4,625. In Uttar Pradesh, Aligarh recorded a maximum price of ₹4,500 per quintal.

On the other hand, some markets recorded maximum prices below ₹2,000 per quintal. This wide variation means farmers should compare the rates available in nearby markets rather than relying on the price of a single mandi.

Azadpur recorded the highest onion arrival at 826.1 tonnes, followed by Lucknow with 570.2 tonnes, Kanpur with 350.8 tonnes, and Varanasi with 228.43 tonnes. Ghazipur also recorded a substantial arrival of 384.46 tonnes while reporting a maximum price of ₹4,900 per quintal.

The actual return from a sale can also depend on the quality of the onions, market arrivals, distance and transportation expenses. Farmers should therefore compare the today mandi price, arrival figures and nearby market rates before deciding where to sell.
