North India's latest official CSTC average was almost unchanged in rupee terms, showing a stable headline market even as buyers remained selected by quality. Mambasa maintained good general demand while Indonesia remained fair but thinly documented. Here are this week's price benchmarks. In Colombo, prices have averaged $3.80 per kilogram this week, up for cents per kilogram, versus the prior benchmark. In North India, prices averaged approximately $2.20 per kilogram broadly unchanged. T board of India reported 203.84 rupees per kilogram for North India CTC for the week ending 19 September, versus 203.43 rupees per kilogram for the previous week.

In Indonesia, prices averaged at $1.14 per kilogram, up to cents per kilo, versus the week 35 benchmark. The interplay of quality and availability continues. Smaller offerings can strengthen seller resistance, but buyers still won't lift secondary T's indiscriminately. Costs reinforced that discipline, freight, energy packaging, and finance remain embedded in delivered values, especially for inexpensive bulk T's. The week 39 takeaway is that catalog size clearance and quality spreads matter as much as the headline average. Better T's continue to capture competition. Secondary descriptions still depend on accurate pricing and buyer need. That's a T-Biz price report for week 39 ending 25 September, 2026.
