Mango arrivals surge, prices drop
Choithram market
has increased, while supply from local farms near Indore has also started, leading to a decrease in the prices of most varieties in the market. The supply of the new season's harvest includes Kesar from Gujarat, Sinduri from southern states, and Alphonso mangoes from Ratnagiri.
The daily supply of mangoes in the Choithram market has increased to nearly 15-20 truckloads (each carrying 12 to 18 tonnes) compared to around 10 truckloads a week ago, according to fruit traders and dealers. Manohar Dhawan, a mango dealer in the Choithram market, said, "The daily supply of mangoes in Choithram market has reached around 15-20 truckloads. Supply from many new centres has started, including local farms in the vicinity of Indore. The supply of mangoes is expected to rise further in a fortnight from new centres, and this is expected to further dampen the prices."
Fruit dealers said the daily supply of mangoes has increased in the market, but demand has not risen in the same manner. "Mango supply has increased, but demand has not picked up as desired because this year the taste in mangoes, especially the 'badam variety', is not good. The new supplies, which started recently, are of good quality, and with these supplies, we are anticipating better demand," said Amrit Agrawal, a semi-wholesaler of mangoes from Indore.
Alphonso mangoes from Ratnagiri in Maharashtra are priced at Rs 2,200-2,500 per box (each box carrying 16 kg) compared to 2,500-3,000 per box last season, said traders in the Choithram market. Other varieties like Sinduri are offered at Rs 80-90 per kg, Kesar at Rs 100-120 per kg, and Badam at Rs 70-80 per kg, according to traders.

PSU banks write off loans over Rs 5.82 lakh cr in last 5 years: MoS Finance
Agencies Representative image Public sector banks (PSBs) have written off bad loans of about Rs 5.82 lakh crore in the last five financial years, Parliament was informed on Tuesday. During 2024-25, the loan write-off of PSBs was at Rs 91,260 crore, compared to Rs 1.15 lakh crore in the previous fiscal, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha. The write-off was highest at Rs 1.33 lakh crore during 2020-21, declining to Rs 1.16 lakh crore in the following year and to Rs 1.27 lakh crore in 2022-23. In contrast to write-offs, PSBs have recovered around Rs 1.65 lakh crore over the last five years. Recovery is around 28 % of the total write-off in the previous five financial years. Banks write off NPAs, including those in respect of which full provisioning has been made on completion of four years, as per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines and policy approved by banks' Boards, Chaudhary said. "Such write-off does not result in waiver of liabilities of borrowers and therefore, it does not benefit the borrower. The borrowers continue to be liable for repayment, and banks continue to pursue recovery actions initiated in these accounts," he said. Further, he said, recovery in written-off loans is an ongoing process and banks continue pursuing their recovery actions initiated against borrowers under the various recovery mechanism available to them, such as filing of a suit in Civil Courts or in Debts Recovery Tribunals, and filing of cases in the National Company Law Tribunal under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, etc. Replying to another question, Chaudhary said that more than Rs 21.68 lakh crore has been disbursed under Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) across the country over the last five years. In response to another question, Chaudhary said, according to provisional data provided by the RBI for the financial year 2024-25, Scheduled Commercial Banks have recovered a total of Rs 32,466 crore through actions initiated in 2,15,709 cases under the SARFAESI Act.
