New Delhi: Against ₹1,100 on the previous market day (6 November 2026), the price is ₹300 higher (27%). 503 mandis reported that day, 313 today.

Potato prices came in from 313 mandis in 24 states today. The lowest was ₹500 and the highest ₹4,500; 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.
