New wheat arrives, but prices remain high; Pune mandi sees a ₹5800 rate.
Key Highlights:
New wheat arrivals fail to lower market prices.
Pune mandi records the highest rate at ₹5800/quintal.
MSP for 2025–26 set at ₹2425/quintal.
Open market prices stay above MSP in most states.
Farmers are advised to check local mandi rates before selling.
Even after the arrival of new wheat in mandis across India, the prices have not come down. Farmers are currently getting rates higher than the Minimum Support Price (MSP) in most markets. Pune Mandi recorded the highest wheat price of ₹5800 per quintal.
This price rise has brought smiles to the faces of wheat farmers, as they are receiving better returns this season. While many state governments have already started wheat procurement at MSP, some are preparing to begin the process soon.

The central government has fixed the MSP for wheat at ₹2425 per quintal for the Rabi Marketing Season 2025–26, which is ₹150 more than last year. However, farmers still prefer to sell in open markets due to the higher prices offered.
According to market experts, the main reasons for higher prices are:
Limited arrival of new wheat.
Increased demand in the open market.
Prices may come down gradually as arrivals increase, but experts believe it’s unlikely they will fall below the MSP. Still, daily market changes are expected, and farmers are advised to stay informed.
