Guwahati Tea Auction Centre, or GTAC, is a wholesale tea trading centre in Assam. The operator’s platform provides information about tea gardens, brokers, buyers and warehouses together with membership services. It is relevant to businesses assembling larger supplies for blending, packing or onward distribution. Its categories include CTC, dust and orthodox teas, which should not be treated as one uniform quality. A wholesale purchase needs identification of the appropriate catalogue, lot and counterparty.

According to a PTI report published on 20 April 2025, GTAC sold 169.13 million kg of tea during 2024/25 at an average price of INR 227.70/kg. The figures were attributed to the buyers association. They describe the stated auction-market year, rather than all Assam production or retail sales at the centre. The annual average is a broad indicator and does not value a particular garden, grade or lot. It is retained separately from the reporting portal’s current output.

The public reporting portal offers analysis categories covering auctions, brokers, buyers and gardens, among other dimensions. This review identified the channel but did not verify a complete current numerical table. Before using a report for purchasing, check its sale number, date and commodity coverage instead of treating the presence of a reporting form as proof of current quotations.

Buyers should specify the required cup profile, category, quantity and intended use. We recommend evaluating samples and comparing lots from a similar production period and grade. A garden name or broad category cannot substitute for sensory assessment and a written specification. Establish the storage location, package weights, collection arrangements and complete delivered cost. An auction price and a price for tea prepared for retail sale represent different stages of trade and should not be compared without accounting for the intervening work.

Sellers should agree catalogue preparation, lot identification and sample presentation with the appropriate intermediary. New buyers should confirm membership or other admission requirements, purchasing limits and settlement. The operator’s contact details are a starting point for that process, not a guarantee of immediate access to bidding. A useful price record keeps the observation date, INR/kg unit, category and source separately. This also makes it easier to add future reports without mixing an annual historical average with a current offer or implying that all teas traded through the centre have equivalent characteristics.
