Cocoon and raw silk prices for all four silks, 2020-21 to 2025-26. These are market rates,
not administered prices, and they do not move in a single direction — mulberry raw
silk peaked in 2022-23 and has still not fully recovered.

- Muga has appreciated fastest of the four silks. Warp yarn has risen
from ₹ 19,800–26,000 per kg in 2020-21 to ₹ 32,000–45,000 in
2025-26, the upper bound growing by about 73 per cent in five years. Reeling cocoon has
more than doubled at both ends of the range.
- Eri prices have firmed steadily but modestly. Spun yarn has moved
from ₹ 2,460–2,800 to ₹ 3,000–4,800 per kg, most of the gain in the
upper bound as finer counts and blended products find markets.
- Mulberry raw silk peaked in 2022-23 at ₹ 4,590 per kg, fell to
₹ 3,698 in 2024-25 and has recovered to ₹ 4,046 — these are market rates,
not a monotonic trend.
- Tasar reeled yarn is the most volatile line in the series, spiking to
₹ 7,208–8,208 per kg in 2024-25 before easing to ₹ 5,750–6,700.
