GURUGRAM: A new district update published on Wednesday, October 28, recorded 39,686 metric tonnes of bajra arrivals across the Jatauli, Farrukhnagar and Sohna grain markets during the 2026-27 kharif season. The market-wise breakdown gives growers fresh arrival figures, following the district's earlier October 15 report on purchases.
Jatauli accounted for 25,691 tonnes, Farrukhnagar for 9,555 tonnes and Sohna for 4,440 tonnes. The Food and Supplies Department spokesperson identified these three mandis as the district's bajra purchase centres. The latest official release was posted at 4:15 pm IST on October 28.
What the latest market figures show
The three market figures add up to the reported district total of 39,686 tonnes. Jatauli has the largest recorded arrivals in this update, followed by Farrukhnagar and Sohna. The release describes arrangements for the buying season but does not give a daily arrival figure, a count of farmers covered by the latest total or a market-wise payment statement.
| Grain market | Bajra arrivals reported October 28 |
|---|---|
| Jatauli | 25,691 metric tonnes |
| Farrukhnagar | 9,555 metric tonnes |
| Sohna | 4,440 metric tonnes |
| District total | 39,686 metric tonnes |
There is an important difference between the latest figure and the earlier district report. The October 15 update recorded purchases of 28,394.15 tonnes from 11,649 farmers. The new release labels its total as arrivals. Subtracting one from the other would mix two different measures, so the figures do not establish a like-for-like increase in purchases.
The earlier report concerned an inspection at Jatauli by the district's administrative secretary, Ashima Brar. It recorded checks of the help desk, gate-pass arrangements and biometric verification, alongside feedback from farmers and commission agents. Those details describe the earlier review; the October 28 update supplies the newer market totals.
How the price support is described
The October 28 announcement refers to a minimum support benchmark of Rs 2,900 per quintal for bajra. It says the state will compensate a difference of up to Rs 600 per quintal under Bhavantar Bharpai, subject to the prescribed rules and eligibility. It does not identify an individual farmer's sale price or confirm that compensation has reached every eligible account.
The background to that arrangement is the state's September 25 procurement review. That announcement said government purchases would take place at Rs 2,300 per quintal. Where farmers obtained a higher price in the open market, the government said compensation would cover the difference between that selling price and the Rs 2,900 benchmark.
The September announcement also tied bajra purchasing and price-deficiency support to the crop record on Meri Fasal Mera Byora and the issued J-form. It instructed officials to prioritise acreage verification. For growers checking a transaction, the relevant questions are therefore the recorded crop and area, the documented sale and the separate compensation entry.
These sources provide a policy framework and dated district totals. They do not supply a new application deadline, a fresh registration window or a payment timetable in the October 28 update. Farmers following up on a sale should refer to their transaction record and the market concerned rather than using the district arrival total as evidence of their own payment status.
The earlier Gurugram bajra purchase report explains the October 15 snapshot. Growers handling another crop can consult the separate report on Gurugram's paddy harvesting restrictions. The district grievance camp guide gives background on following up an unresolved administrative complaint.
