Today's Live Mandi Bhav & APMC Prices Across India

Minimum Price is the lowest bid offered for inferior or damaged lots during morning auctions. Maximum Price is the premium bid paid for top grade A1 quality produce. Modal Price is the statistical benchmark where the largest commercial volume of produce was traded. Minimum Support Price (MSP) is the statutory floor price guaranteed by the Central Government for designated crops (paddy, wheat, pulses, oilseeds, cotton) through procurement agencies (FCI, NAFED, CCI).

e-NAM (National Agriculture Market) links over 1,300 APMC mandis across 23 states onto an electronic bidding network. Farmers bring produce to an e-NAM mandi, where samples are tested for moisture and quality parameters in a certified lab. The lot is listed on the national online auction board, allowing bulk traders and food processors from any state to bid electronically. Payment is credited directly into the farmer’s bank account via e-Banking.

Most physical APMC open-cry auctions take place between 8:00 AM and 12:30 PM. Mandi market committees record arrival weights and auction sales slips, then upload official data to Agmarknet between 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM daily. KisanPe’s automated feeds synchronize rates every afternoon so farmers can review closing prices before harvesting and loading produce for the following morning.

Under state APMC Acts and model Agricultural Produce and Livestock Marketing (APLM) rules, buyers/traders—not farmers—are legally responsible for paying the Market Cess (typically 1% to 2%) and commission fees. Farmers are only liable for standard unloading and manual cleaning/weighing charges (Tol-Majjari) as officially gazetted on the mandi notice board. Any arbitrary unauthorized "karda" or excess weighment deduction is illegal.
