Every figure the institute publishes, drawn as a chart and recomputed on each visit. The sector tabs come from the CMER&TI institutional profile; the research tabs are built from 11 years of Annual Reports. Nothing here is a static image — update the underlying data file and the charts follow.

Drag to turn, or use the arrow keys; hovering pauses it. Rendered server-side from the same data file the charts use, so it stays correct even if the charting library never loads. Muga is 0.59 % of national output by weight and the most valuable per kilogram of the four — volume and value run in opposite directions here.
Six years, layer on layer
Total raw silk, all four silks combined; hover to fan the layers apart. Six consecutive years of growth, from 33,770 MT to an all-time high of 42,033 MT. Bars are scaled across the observed range rather than from zero, because the whole movement sits in the top quarter and a zero baseline would flatten it to nothing.
Raw silk production by type, 2020-21 to 2025-26
Total raw silk has grown in all six years, reaching an all-time high of 42,033 MT. Almost all the growth is mulberry.
Share of national output, 2025-26
Vanya silks alone
Plotted apart from mulberry, which is 20 times their combined size and flattens them on a shared axis.
Bivoltine mulberry & plantation area
Trade and employment
Exports rose about 52 % in 2025-26, the sharpest jump in the series.
What a kilogram is worth, 2025-26
Upper bound of each quoted range, 2025-26. Hover to turn the group square on. Column heights are square-rooted, not linear — at true scale muga would stand eleven times mulberry and flatten the other three into the floor. Read the printed figures for the real gap; the columns give you the ranking at a glance.
How many times over
- Muga (warp) × 11 ₹ 45,000 / kg
- Tasar (reeled) × 1.7 ₹ 6,700 / kg
- Eri (spun) × 1.2 ₹ 4,800 / kg
- মালবেৰী × 1.0 ₹ 4,046 / kg
Each bar shows what a kilogram fetches as a multiple of the cheapest of the four. Muga warp is worth roughly eleven times mulberry raw silk — which is the whole economic case for a crop that is 0.59 % of national output by weight. Bar lengths are square-rooted, as with the columns above; the printed multiples carry the true ratio.
Raw silk and yarn prices, ₹ per kg
Logarithmic scale — muga trades at roughly ten times every other silk, and a linear axis would compress the rest to a flat line. Values are the upper bound of each quoted range.
Muga: warp and weft
Warp has risen about 73 % in five years at the upper bound — the fastest appreciation of any of the four silks.
Cocoon prices
Muga per 1,000 cocoons; eri and mulberry per kg — the units differ, so read each line against itself rather than across.
The climb to 60,000 MT
+3,400
+3,500
+3,900
+4,300
All-India target in MT of raw silk, with each year’s increment on the tread. The steps are not even: the ask grows from +3,400 MT in the first year to +4,300 MT in the last, so the climb steepens rather than levelling off. Assam carries about 14.9 % of every one of those steps.
Proposed raw silk targets, 2026-27 to 2030-31
All-India rises 33.6 % over five years, about 7.5 % compound. Assam holds a steady 14.9 % share throughout.
Top ten states by 2030-31 target
Assam carries the third largest target of any state, after Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Muga cocoon quality by crop season
Kotia gives the heaviest cocoon and longest filament of the year; Chotua the lightest.
Fibre properties of the four silks
Muga leads on toughness and elongation; mulberry on tenacity and continuous filament.
Economics: muga against eri, one acre
The two are not costed on an identical basis — muga charges 5 % of plantation establishment to the year, eri the full cost. See তুলনামূলক মাপকাঠি.
