Onion rate today in India — and CIF to Dubai, Oman, Kuwait and Colombo — Friday, 25 September 2026

Today, Friday 25 September 2026, the export price of Indian red onion (Nashik) is ₹47–52 per kg in India (about $560–619 per tonne), and $865 per tonne CIF Fujairah / Khor Fakkan, $825 per tonne CIF Sohar / Salalah, $797 per tonne CIF Colombo, packed in mesh bags in a 40ft reefer container. Prices are a working range, updated by AL NOOR EXIM on each market day.

Today’s published CIF shipping rates are increased by $15 per tonne because freight and risk costs have risen amid increased regional tensions. The India working rate is unchanged; confirm a firm quote by WhatsApp before booking.

No. It is a working range for export-grade Nashik red onion. WhatsApp AL NOOR EXIM on +91 94267 46464 with your size grade, quantity and port for a firm FOB or CIF quote, usually the same day.

Yes. We route Gulf cargo to Fujairah, Khor Fakkan, Sohar and Salalah, which lie outside the Strait of Hormuz, so shipments avoid the strait entirely and carry no war-risk surcharge. Jebel Ali, Shuwaikh, Hamad and Khalifa Bin Salman all lie inside the Strait, so there is no reliable direct sailing to them at the moment; cargo for those ports is transhipped through the UAE and quoted on request.

Approximate sea transit from Nhava Sheva (Mumbai): Fujairah / Khor Fakkan 5–7 days, Shuwaikh transhipped via UAE, Sohar / Salalah 4–6 days, Colombo 3–4 days, Hamad transhipped via UAE, Khalifa Bin Salman transhipped via UAE, Jeddah 8–10 days, Port Klang 7–10 days. Add 2–3 days for loading and documents.

CIF = the onion rate in India + grading and mesh-bag packing + transport to Nhava Sheva + port handling + reefer sea freight and insurance to your port. It does not include duty or clearing at destination.

Yes. From November to March the fresh kharif crop comes from the Pune belt (Junnar, Ambegaon, Khed and Shirur, traded at Manchar and Chakan), when stored Nashik rabi stock is thinnest and dearest. Pune kharif onion is milder and thinner-skinned with a 3 to 4 week shelf life; Nashik stored rabi keeps 45 to 60 days. Season calendar and full specification at alnoorexim.com/pune-onion.php.

Export-grade Nashik red onion is ₹47–52 per kg today (Friday, 25 September 2026). This is the rate for graded, cured bulbs sorted by size (45 mm and above for Gulf loads) bought at the Nashik-district mandis: Lasalgaon, Pimpalgaon and Chandwad. The mandi modal price for mixed, ungraded lots usually runs ₹4–6 per kg below it.

A 40ft reefer takes about 28 tonnes of red onion in 25 kg mesh bags. At today's rate the onions alone come to about $15,680–17,332 per container before grading, packing, inland transport and sea freight. Landed CIF per container today: UAE (Dubai) about $24,220; Oman about $23,100; Sri Lanka about $22,316. WhatsApp +91 94267 46464 for a firm 40ft quote to your port, valid 72 hours.

Our CIF price into the UAE today, 25 September 2026, is $865 per tonne for export-grade Indian red onion delivered to Fujairah / Khor Fakkan, which is about $0.87 per kg landed. That is the landed cost of Indian onion at the port, not the retail price in a Dubai shop. Transit from Nhava Sheva is 5–7 days. One 40ft reefer carries about 28 tonnes.

Our CIF price into Oman today, 25 September 2026, is $825 per tonne for export-grade Indian red onion delivered to Sohar / Salalah. Transit from Nhava Sheva is 4–6 days. Oman requires palletised cargo on some lanes, so tell us your discharge port when you ask for a quote.

Kuwait (Shuwaikh) is quoted on request. There is no reliable direct sailing from Nhava Sheva into Shuwaikh at the moment: disruption around the Strait of Hormuz has pushed Gulf services to discharge outside the Strait, so Kuwait cargo is transhipped and both the freight and the transit move week to week. For reference, today our Gulf CIF is $865 per tonne to Fujairah / Khor Fakkan. Kuwait is our largest market by shipment count. WhatsApp +91 94267 46464 with your grade and quantity for a firm Shuwaikh price.

Both. FOB is from Nhava Sheva (Mumbai). CIF is quoted to your discharge port and includes sea freight and insurance. The prices shown on this page are CIF per tonne, and the India figure is our export-grade buying rate per kg at Nashik.
