Kargil, Ladakh – June 2, 2025 – Authorities in Kargil have released the official pricing for live sheep and goats designated for Qurbani (sacrifice) during the upcoming Eid-ul-Adha in 2025. The decision, formalized following a meeting led by the Additional Deputy Commissioner Kargil, establishes standardized rates applicable throughout the Kargil District and the Zanskar sub-division in anticipation of the religious festival.

The newly announced rates specify that Goat/Sheep of the Delhi Wala/Rajasthani breed will be priced at Rs. 360/= per kilogram of live weight in Kargil District and Rs. 370/= per kilogram in Zanskar. For the Bakarwal breed of Goat/Sheep, the fixed rates are Rs. 310/= per kilogram live weight for Kargil District and Rs 320/= per kilogram for the Zanskar region. These prices are set to be effective for the Eid-ul-Adha celebrations in 2025.
