Every parmal (common) paddy row reporting across the Bathinda-belt yards today, in ₹ per quintal, with a trend recorded across market days.
Reading the parmal (common) paddy board
Parmal is the belt's volume crop and the one with a floor under it: government agencies procure common paddy at the announced MSP through the official kharif window, which makes the marketing question less about price discovery and more about logistics — moisture, cleanliness, gate passes and lifting.
The board still matters. On heavy days, knowing which yards are moving grain fastest saves a grower a day of trolley time, and private trade does buy parmal above or below the government window depending on quality and timing.

Common questions
Does parmal paddy sell at MSP?
Yes — common paddy is procured by government agencies at the announced MSP during the official kharif procurement window, subject to moisture and quality specifications.
What moisture level is accepted at procurement?
Procurement specifications cap moisture; grain above the cap is either rejected or cut. Drying before the yard is the simplest way to protect the full rate — ask at the yard for the current season's specification.
Why do parmal rates on the board sometimes differ from MSP?
The board shows actual transactions, which include private trade. Private buyers may pay around, above, or below MSP depending on quality, timing and their own demand.
