Grapes

Water

Rain falls about 10 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

Needs about 1,170 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 720 mm it can use in a normal year, and 620 mm in a dry year.

Grows best at 18–30 °C on average, and survives 10–38 °C.

Soil

Soil for Grapes: 9 out of 10 (good).

• The pH here suits it.

Money

Yield: about 77 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 2 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

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 last season's harvest (February–April 2026): about ₹9,100 a quintal across mandis in your state.

Prices are usually best in January.

Typical costs are about ₹2.5 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
