Wheat Market Prices Today - (24 February, 2026)

Farmers planning to sell wheat should carefully review today’s market report, as it could play a crucial role in deciding the right time and place to sell. Across major wheat mandis in India, prices showed a range from mild to strong gains today. In several markets, wheat traded above the Minimum Support Price (MSP of ₹2,425 per quintal), while in a few mandis prices remained under pressure due to higher arrivals.

The key highlight of the day was seen in Maharashtra, where Sharbati and premium wheat varieties touched levels as high as ₹3,600 per quintal around ₹1,175 higher than the MSP. This clearly indicates strong market demand for high-quality wheat.

Delhi’s Najafgarh mandi, wheat was also traded above MSP, offering positive signals for farmers in northern India. However, in some markets with heavy arrivals, prices remained relatively soft.

If you are holding high-quality or premium wheat such as Sharbati, today’s market conditions present a strong opportunity. Below is a detailed state-wise wheat mandi price table, arrival data, and market analysis to help you make an informed decision.

Price and Arrival Trend Analysis:

The strongest price surge today was recorded in Kalyan mandi (Maharashtra), where Sharbati wheat climbed from ₹2,800 to ₹3,600 per quintal, significantly above MSP. Despite heavy arrivals of 57 tonnes, Ulhasnagar APMC maintained strong prices between ₹2,800 and ₹3,200, reflecting steady demand.

Delhi’s Najafgarh mandi, wheat traded between ₹2,470 and ₹2,567, remaining comfortably above MSP and sending positive signals to northern wheat growers.

On the weaker side, mandis such as Buldhana (Dhad) and Sillod saw prices ranging between ₹2,000 and ₹2,400, largely due to higher supply pressure.

Arrival trends clearly show that low-arrival mandis such as Kalyan, Paithan, and Kandhar recorded stronger prices, while markets with higher inflow faced relatively softer rates.

Advice for Farmers:

  • Farmers holding Sharbati or premium-quality wheat can earn better returns by selling in mandis like Kalyan and Ulhasnagar.
  • Markets where wheat is trading near or below MSP (such as Buldhana and Sillod), immediate selling may not be ideal.
  • Low-arrival markets are currently offering stronger prices, so monitoring such mandis can be beneficial.
  • If storage facilities are available, holding wheat for a short period may lead to even better prices ahead.

Market Insight: Quality-driven demand is clearly visible in today’s wheat market. Choosing the right mandi, quality grading, and timing remains the key to maximizing returns.
