While the volumes sold rose to 82.4 per cent this week compared to 66 - 67 per cent taken up at sale no 1 and 2, the price too increased by ₹2.13/kg (against less than ₹1/kg last week) to ₹69.97/kg

Salisbury’s Broken Orange Pekoe Small (BOPSM) topped the CTC market at ₹81/kg.
In the CTC dust auction, Salisbury’s Pekoe Dust hit a high of ₹85/kg, up by over ₹11/kg compared to the previous sale’s average of ₹74/kg.
