New Delhi: Against ₹3,500 on the previous market day (6 October 2026), the price is ₹125 higher (3.6%). 215 mandis reported that day, 212 today.

Papaya prices came in from 212 mandis in 18 states today. The lowest was ₹1,250 and the highest ₹6,000; 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.
