What the numbers say
Vetiver oil is a thinly-traded specialty material with no daily Indian mandi or auction feed, so the figure shown is an indicative reference rate compiled from authorised public sources. As an essential oil it is highly volatile and grade-, origin- and purity-dependent: two drums can differ in price by a wide margin on odour profile and documentation alone, and the rupee adds further movement.

What affects the vetiver (khus) oil price?
Root yield & distillation cost
Oil sits in the roots, which must be dug, washed, dried and slow-distilled for many hours. The low yield per tonne of root and the energy-intensive run make vetiver oil inherently costly.
Origin & odour profile
Oils from different growing regions differ in colour, viscosity and aroma. Cleaner, sweeter, more refined “heart” profiles command a large premium over heavier, smokier crude lots.
Purity & adulteration
As a high-priced oil, vetiver is a frequent target for dilution or cutting with cheaper materials. Genuine, GC-verified, undiluted oil sells well above suspect or blended stock.
Global fragrance demand
Vetiver is a backbone of fine fragrance and a sought-after natural fixative. Buying cycles from international perfumery houses, plus the rupee, swing the price independently of any single harvest.
Major producing regions
North India (Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan)
Cultivated khus grown specifically for distillation — a major source of Indian vetiver oil.
South India (Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka)
Khus is grown and wild-harvested across the southern states, including parts of the Western Ghats foothills.
Haiti, Indonesia (Java), Réunion (global)
The leading international origins — their crops and quality set the global fine-fragrance benchmark.
Grades & varieties
- Fine / perfumery grade — Clean, well-rounded, lower-acidity oil meeting fragrance-house specs — the premium tier.
- Standard distilled — Typical steam-distilled khus oil for general aroma and blending use.
- Crude / heavy — Darker, smokier, higher-viscosity lots — the value end, often for further processing or rectification.
Market factors
Vetiver oil is a thinly-traded specialty material with no daily Indian mandi or auction feed, so the figure shown is an indicative reference rate compiled from authorised public sources. As an essential oil it is highly volatile and grade-, origin- and purity-dependent: two drums can differ in price by a wide margin on odour profile and documentation alone, and the rupee adds further movement.
Export relevance
India both produces and trades vetiver oil, but the global benchmark is shaped by Haiti, Java and Réunion. Indian oil is bought by domestic and international fragrance buyers, so export demand from perfumery houses — and competition from other origins — feeds directly into domestic rates.
Seasonal trends
Khus roots are usually harvested through the cooler, drier months after the grass has matured (often around 12 to 18 months of growth), and distillation is concentrated in that post-harvest window. Because oil can be stored and traded year-round, prices track demand and stock levels more than any single seasonal peak.

Vetiver (Khus) Oil is trading at ₹65,000 per kg in India as of 25 Jun 2026 — a reference wholesale rate aggregated from authorised public sources and normalized to ₹/kg. Indicative, for reference only — not an AroWest retail price.
What is the vetiver (khus) oil price today in India?
The figure above is an indicative wholesale reference rate per kilogram for steam-distilled vetiver oil, compiled from authorised public sources. Because the oil is a niche, grade-dependent product with no daily auction, treat it as a broad guide rather than a precise live quote.
Why is vetiver oil so expensive?
The oil is locked in the roots, which must be dug, washed, dried and slow-distilled for many hours to yield just a little oil. That low yield and intensive processing, plus strong demand from fine perfumery for it as a fixative, keep prices very high.
Why do vetiver oil prices vary so much?
As an essential oil, vetiver is highly volatile and quality-driven. Origin, root age, distillation, odour profile and proven purity can each move the price by a wide margin, so any single figure is broadly indicative only.
Is this AroWest's retail price for vetiver oil?
No — this is an indicative wholesale/market reference, not AroWest's retail price and not a live guaranteed quote. AroWest retail oils are graded, purity-checked and packed, and are priced separately in the shop.
