Regular harvesting is supporting reasonable Indian citronella oil availability through the summer period, with production spread across northeastern and other suitable growing regions. Rainfall remains an important factor, as prolonged wet conditions can affect harvesting, grass moisture and oil recovery during distillation. Demand continues from insect repellents, household products, soaps, fragrances and natural cleaning formulations. Standard grades are generally obtainable, while material offering stronger citronellal specifications, controlled pesticide residues and reliable traceability attracts greater buyer interest.
