New Delhi: The price is about where it was on the previous market day (6 October 2026): ₹8,000 then, ₹8,000 now.

Black Gram prices came in from 190 mandis in 10 states today. The lowest was ₹3,000 and the highest ₹20,000; most of that gap is variety and quality.

Black Gram's MSP is ₹8,200 a quintal. Today 107 of 207 mandis (52%) paid less than that.

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.
