Total tea offerings increased to 1,57,249 packages at the last week's sale comprising 85,232 packages of CTC 62,782 packages of Orthodox and 9,235 packages of Darjeeling teas.

There was a good demand of CTC, while Assams sold at firm to dearer rates. Dooars and Cachars also followed a similar pattern. Major blenders were active. There was some export inquiry on the larger brokens. Other internal and local sections lent fair support towards CTC varieties.
