Water

Temperature

Money

Yield: about 62 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.

Mandi price at this season's harvest so far (November 2026): about ₹2,900 a quintal across mandis in your state.

This week: about ₹3,000 a quintal, the middle of 3 mandis in your state (latest 12 Nov).

Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

Prices are usually best in July.

Typical costs are about ₹1.3 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
