The basmati paddy market continued to show resilience on 12 November, with prices holding firm despite heavy arrivals across several major trading centres. Strong buying interest in premium-quality varieties, particularly 1121 and 1401, has helped prevent a significant decline. In Haryana, 1121 paddy was quoted at ₹5,472 per quintal in Matlauda, ₹5,405 in Taraori, ₹5,382 in Beri and around ₹5,351 in Rohtak and Panipat. The 1401 variety also maintained a firm position, with Samana reporting ₹5,170 and Kotkapura ₹5,005 per quintal. Other varieties also maintained a steady market trend. The 1718 variety witnessed good buying support in Matlauda, Taraori, Ganaur and Rohtak. Meanwhile, 1509 prices remained stable in Samana, Kotkapura and Fatehabad. In the Pusa and PB-1 categories, prices ranged between ₹4,950 and ₹5,125 per quintal in selected markets. Pipariya reported ₹4,950�5,085, while Bareli recorded around ₹5,125 per quintal. These differences highlight the importance of variety, grain quality and local demand in determining actual selling prices. Arrivals remained substantial, with approximately 60,000 bags reported in Pilibhitkheda, 35,000 in Mota, 33,000 in Kotkapura and 52,000�55,000 in Pipariya. Despite this considerable supply, prices have largely remained stable, indicating continued buying activity in selected varieties. For farmers, comparing variety-wise prices across nearby mandis and assessing grain quality before selling can help secure better returns. Traders and rice millers should closely monitor daily arrivals, procurement activity and export demand. Looking ahead, the markets direction will largely depend on whether buying demand continues to absorb the incoming supply. Strong export enquiries and active mill procurement could support premium varieties, while increasing arrivals without matching demand may put pressure on ordinary-quality paddy. Farmers should avoid making hurried selling decisions based on a single days price movement and consider local rates, quality premiums and transportation costs. The coming days will be important in determining whether the current stability develops into a stronger market trend.
