Saline surplus
Workers load bags of salt onto a truck from the salt pans near Beeramgunta, Ongole, on September 9, 2026. Work on the salt pans usually ends with the coming of the rains in June, but with almost no rainfall due to El Niño, salt continues to be harvested. The price of salt has fallen from ₹400–₹500 per tonne last year to ₹100–₹120 this year.
