Delhi (Azadpur Mandi) — April 27, 2026: The potato market at Azadpur mandi is currently experiencing slow sales and quality pressure, primarily due to extreme heat conditions affecting both demand and shelf life.
As per the latest update, total arrivals stood at around 90 trucks, but daily sales are limited to 50–70 trucks, indicating a gap between supply and demand. Traders report that intense heat is causing potatoes to dry faster, leading to deterioration in quality and impacting price realization.
💰 Price Trends (per 50 kg bag):
Chipsona: ₹400 – ₹450 (premium), ₹250 – ₹275 (lower quality)
3797 (Cold Storage): ₹350 – ₹380
3797 (Fresh/Dehri): ~₹300
Pukhraj: ~₹250
Surya: ₹450 – ₹750 (quality-based variation)
Diamond: ~₹300
Market participants highlight that higher production this season is also contributing to the current pressure on prices. With supply levels remaining elevated, significant price increases are unlikely in the short term.
Traders are advising farmers to sell their produce when market opportunities arise, rather than holding stock for higher prices. Given the ongoing heat conditions and supply scenario, timely selling is being seen as a key strategy to minimize losses.
Overall, the mandi reflects a heat-driven, supply-heavy market, where quality and timing are critical for better returns.
