With the mercury rising, the demand and consumption of watermelons have surged significantly. On May 19, 2025, several major mandis across Uttar Pradesh recorded robust arrivals of watermelons. However, prices varied widely from region to region. According to today’s Mandi Bhav (Market Price) Report, most mandis offered rates between ₹800 and ₹1100 per quintal, but Khatauli mandi stood out with an impressive ₹1400 per quintal — the highest watermelon price in the state today.
