Mango arrivals surge, prices drop
Indore: The arrival of mangoes from Gujarat and southern states to the city's largest
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.

Potential US tax cuts could further boost the sector. Significant corrections in IT stocks have created attractive valuations, leading to a possible rotation of investments into IT. Pharma and auto sectors may also benefit from this you look at the market profile, there has been a good rebound, I would say, after the initial correction. If you look at the market capitalisation of NSE, it had actually shrunk by almost like Rs 90 lakh crore to the lows in February or end of February and from there on, the market cap erosion has actually narrowed quite substantially because of the recovery that has happened. We have recovered almost like Rs 70 lakh crore out of the balance is only Rs 20 lakh crore from the peak level that we saw in September last year. So, I would say what has happened is that sectors have taken turns to rebound. We had RBI also infusing liquidity substantially, so that has also played out. What is happening now is the IT sector which is actually gradually coming back and the fact that there was an overhang on the sector with the recession risk being priced into the US economy and it was a spillover effect of the US-China conflict, the engagement that is happening between US and China in thawing the lock jam is something that can be seen as positive for the IT sector because a lot of investors were concerned about the order book uncertainty that it had created.I would say the overhang is actually receding. There is also a possibility that the market might start pricing in tax cuts in the US as well. These are the two things that are moving in favour of the IT sector. IT stocks have seen significant correction and there is a certain amount of valuation that people might be looking at. All put together, there does seem to be this whole rotation across sectors moving in favour of IT now. So, IT is one sector. There are other sectors like pharma where there is a possibility of rotation in favour of them. Auto is another one, news will have an effect on the alco-beverage companies. What the Maharashtra government has announced may create a certain amount of suspicion that other states might actually also announce. This could be because state governments are also struggling on the revenue side. There is a likelihood that people might expect or extrapolate this kind of a scenario in other states as well.I would say people will need to wait to see whether they get more clarity on this and whether this can create a trend. While we are positive fundamentally on space, we do have Allied Blenders in our list, but this is a regulatory risk that will need to settle down before we take a decisive view.
