On 19 May 2026, Sponge gourd prices displayed a clear multi-mandi trend across 22 active agricultural markets. When several mandis move in the same direction on the same day, it reflects a broader shift in supply-demand balance rather than isolated local price fluctuations.
The consolidated average price changed by -4.9% compared to the previous session. Such a coordinated percentage movement across mandis strengthens the reliability of the emerging market trend.
Multi-Mandi Price Overview – Key Numbers at a Glance
- Highest Price Across Mandis: ₹4,000 per quintal
- Lowest Price Across Mandis: ₹450 per quintal

The spread between the day’s high and low levels offers insight into volatility. A narrower band suggests stable trading conditions, while a wider band may indicate transitional phases or uneven demand absorption.
30-Day Context – Is the Trend Strengthening or Reversing?
