Quick answer: Mumbai APMC is the statutory market committee that runs the wholesale produce markets at Turbhe and Vashi in Navi Mumbai. This page covers the five Navi Mumbai markets listed on APMC’s individual market pages: vegetables, fruit, onion and potato, grain, and spice. They are trading yards for licensed businesses, not shopping streets or sightseeing stops. APMC’s market pages do not state a general visitor-entry policy, a household retail window or a standard minimum purchase, so confirm entry with the market office and quantities with the trader before you travel. Details are as published on APMC’s site on 8 October 2026.
APMC’s About page describes the body as the Mumbai Agricultural Produce Market Committee (Market of National Importance), a statutory body established on 15 January 1977 under the Maharashtra Agricultural Produce (Marketing, Regulation and Development) Act, 1963. For the wider city, see what is Navi Mumbai and the areas in Navi Mumbai guide.

These are working wholesale yards with goods-vehicle and loading activity. Follow staff instructions and keep clear of vehicle movements.
What each yard handles
- Vegetables. APMC’s page carries a long list of items that includes tomato, cabbage, cucumber, green peas, ginger, coriander, fenugreek, drumstick and leafy vegetables.
- Fruit. The page says only that fruit is traded and gives a Turbhe address.
- Onion and potato. The page says onions, potatoes and garlic are traded, in wings labelled A to H. APMC’s computerisation page says the committee is using the Government of India’s e-NAM portal for this market in the first phase.
- Grain. The same computerisation page says electronic display boards for arrivals and prices were installed in the administrative building and at Market 2 (Grain Market).
- Spice. The page refers to the yard as Market 1 and gives a Vashi address.
Turbhe or Vashi: which address is which
People say “APMC Vashi” and “APMC Turbhe” for the same complex, and APMC’s pages use both. The vegetable and fruit pages print Turbhe addresses on Thane-Belapur Road. The grain and spice pages print Vashi addresses. The onion and potato page prints the head-office address at Sector 18, Vashi. Every page gives the PIN 400703. Search your map app for the exact market name, not just “APMC”.
Published timings and closure checks
APMC’s auction timetable gives these time slots:
| Market | Time published |
|---|---|
| Vegetables | 2 PM to midnight |
| Fruit | 4 AM to 3 PM |
| Onion and potato | 8 AM to 6 PM |
| Spice or Masala (Market 1) | 10 AM to 5 PM |
| Grain (Market 2) | 10 AM to 5 PM |
The timetable labels its last two rows Market 1 and Market 2. The last two names are matched to the spice and grain yards using APMC’s individual market pages: the spice page refers to Market 1, and the computerisation page names Market 2 as the Grain Market.
- These are APMC’s published auction or market timings, not confirmation of individual trader hours, household retail access or holiday opening.
- Days and holidays. The timetable gives hours only. Ask the market office which days each yard trades and for any holiday notice.
- Slots differ by market, so a plan that fits the fruit yard will not fit the vegetable yard.
Household and small-buyer questions
APMC’s market pages do not state a general visitor-entry policy, a household retail window or a standard minimum purchase. The About page says the committee is empowered to regulate the entry of persons and vehicles. That establishes APMC’s power to set entry rules. It does not, by itself, establish either open access or a ban on household buyers.
So the answer to “can I walk in and buy a few kilos?” comes from two places: the market office for entry, and the individual trader for the sale. Confirm entry arrangements with the market office, then ask the trader whether your required quantity is available and on what terms.
| Ask the market office | Ask the individual trader |
|---|---|
|
|
- Decide which market you need. One product usually means one yard. Use the table above.
- Call the market office before you travel. Use the number printed for that market, or the head office on 022-27888414 or 022-27881400 (the numbers on APMC’s contact page).
- Check the timings for that yard, not a general “APMC timing”.
- Follow gate staff on the day. Stay on marked paths, keep clear of moving vehicles and wear closed shoes.
How to check daily prices
APMC’s Daily Market Price page is a gateway. It has tabs for the vegetable, fruit, dhanya (grain), masala and Turbhe markets, and each tab opens APMC’s dated rate reports: vegetable, fruit, dhanya, masala and Turbhe. The Turbhe report lists onion, potato and garlic. Each dated entry has View and Download links. A report shows the commodity name, arrivals, and minimum, maximum and average prices. The reports are in Marathi, and the column headings do not state the unit of the figures.
- Open APMC’s Daily Market Price page.
- Select the market you want.
- Check the report date.
- Match the commodity and grade.
- Confirm the quotation unit before comparing.
- Ask the seller for the actual quantity, quality and final payable amount.
Do not assume every figure is a per-kilogram household price. Confirm the unit, and treat a published market reference as different from a seller’s quotation. The food budget guide compares APMC references with other ways of buying food. This page prints no prices because the reports change every day.
Getting to the correct market
Choose the exact market first. The five yards have different addresses, and the vegetable and fruit yards are on the Turbhe side while the grain and spice yards are on the Vashi side.
Central Railway’s Mumbai suburban time table page links a Harbour line table that lists Vashi and a Trans-Harbour table (Thane to Vashi and Panvel) that lists Turbhe, so both areas are served by local trains. Use the latest versions on that page for train times. The Mumbai local train guide and the NMMT bus routes guide cover the services in more detail.
A station gets you to the area, not to a market gate. Do not count on a fixed walking time or on a bus route reaching a particular entrance. The most useful thing to ask the market office for is a verified entrance pin for the yard you want, and use a current map for the last stretch.
Trader and farmer enquiries
- Licensing. The departments page says the Regulation and Licensing department issues new and renewed licences to market entities such as traders, porters, transporters and buyers. The site menu lists an online licence application, so ask the head office for the current procedure.
- Farmers. APMC lists a farmers’ rest house among its facilities on the services page and separately lists its upgrading as a future project on the future projects page. Check current availability, eligibility and arrangements with APMC. The online complaint form has a category for farmer-related issues.
- Goods vehicles. Ask the market office about vehicle entry arrangements and any pass for goods vehicles. For a truck route to Vashi, the toll plazas guide covers the toll plazas.
- Contacts. Head office, Administrative Building, Sector 18, Vashi, Navi Mumbai 400703: 022-27888414 or 022-27881400.
If you are setting up a business
Trading registrations are a separate track from market licences. See the guide to starting a business in Navi Mumbai, the Shop Act licence guide and, for imported goods, the IEC registration and JNPT import-export guide.

Which markets are there and what does each one trade?

The grain market (Market 2) trades food grains such as rice and wheat plus pulses. The spice market (Market 1) trades spices, sugar, jaggery and dry fruits.

Both names are used. APMC prints Turbhe addresses on Thane-Belapur Road for the vegetable and fruit markets and Vashi addresses for the grain and spice markets.

Who does APMC serve: farmers, traders or buyers?
APMC’s pages mention all three. The About page lists better prices for farmers among its aims, and the departments page says licences go to market entities such as traders, porters, transporters and buyers. APMC lists a farmers’ rest house among its facilities and separately lists its upgrading as a future project, so check current availability and eligibility with APMC.
