Government Cocoon Market Sidlaghatta is a silk cocoon marketplace in Chikkaballapur district, Karnataka, India. The town's name is also written Shidlaghatta. The district administration identifies it as a Class I market within a local economy associated with sericulture. It is a different location from Ramanagara, already included in an earlier directory supplement, even though both handle similar product groups.
For 25 October 2026, a local portal reported 19,480 kg of Cross Breed cocoons and 1,240 kg of Bi-Voltine cocoons. The accompanying average prices were INR 661/kg and INR 772/kg respectively. These observations cover one date and two distinct categories; they do not measure annual silk production across the district.
This type of market brings cocoon suppliers together with purchasers preparing the material for further processing. For a buyer, a price per kilogram alone cannot establish a lot's suitability. We recommend agreeing its uniformity, condition and required processing characteristics, together with sampling and inspection arrangements before purchase. Keep the Cross Breed and Bi-Voltine labels attached to their prices. They should not be assumed to describe interchangeable goods or identical quality grades without a specific assessment of the offered material.
Sellers should confirm admission to trading, reception, weighing and settlement procedures with the administration. Buyers should establish registration and collection arrangements for their actual lot. The published telephone contact belongs to the district sericulture department, not a verified direct line to the market hall. Confirm the precise entrance and current timetable before dispatching a vehicle. Older district-wide sericulture figures have deliberately not been presented as current throughput for this particular marketplace, since their geographical scope and period differ.
A cost calculation should separate cocoon purchasing from freight, handling and subsequent processing. We recommend agreeing the weighing time, chargeable weight basis and interval between purchase and collection. Anyone comparing the result with silk-yarn prices must also account for actual yield and their own production process; simply comparing two per-kilogram figures would be misleading. Further updates can append new daily observations to the same series while retaining category and source fields. A new publication date should add evidence to this record, rather than create a duplicate marketplace entry.
