New Delhi: Against ₹2,200 on the previous market day (6 October 2026), the price is ₹200 lower (9.1%). 51 mandis reported that day, 54 today.

Water Melon prices came in from 54 mandis in 14 states today. The lowest was ₹700 and the highest ₹3,800; most of that gap is variety and quality.

Before you sell: compare two or three nearby mandis, add the cost of transport, and take the crop dried and graded — clean produce fetches a better price.
