Indore vegetable prices high as green peas hit Rs 110 per kg
Fresh green peas and peanuts have arrived at Indore's Choithram Vegetable Market ahead of Navratri, though wholesale prices remain elevated. New peas from Nashik are selling at Rs 100 to Rs 110 per kg, while raw peanuts from Shivpuri and Sagar are priced at Rs 60 to Rs 70 per kg.
Drumsticks cost Rs 60 to Rs 70 per kg and fenugreek leaves are at around Rs 50 per kg. Traders expect prices to fluctuate depending on arrivals, weather and Navratri demand. A significant price drop is considered unlikely unless supply from rural areas increases substantially.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The arrival of fresh peas and peanuts signals the start of the winter vegetable season, but high wholesale prices mean consumers will not see immediate relief. With Navratri fasting reducing demand for some vegetables, household budgets may ease slightly, though staples such as drumsticks and fenugreek remain costly. The key factor in coming days will be supply from surrounding regions: higher arrivals could stabilise rates, while any disruption will keep prices high. Traders have ruled out a sharp decline for now.
