    The present study entitled “Impact of eNAM on enhancement of farm income in Andhra Pradesh- An analytical study” was undertaken mainly to study impact of eNAM on income of farmers. The study covered Duggirala, Guntur and Kurnool districts of Andhra Pradesh. Primary data was collected from 25 farmers from each market using a specially designed schedule pertaining to the year 2017-18. Secondary data was collected from different sources. The empirical findings of the study revealed that major commodities transacted in Duggirala, Guntur and Kurnool markets were Turmeric, Chilli and Groundnut respectively. In all the three markets majority of the respondents were medium farmers. With regard to arrivals, no significant change was observed in arrivals of turmeric before and after eNAM and prices of turmeric changed significantly after eNAM. In Guntur market both arrivals and prices changed significantly after introduction of eNAM. In case of Kurnool market arrivals changed significantly but prices does not show any significant difference at 5 per cent level of significance. Change in income of farmers in all the selected markets after introduction of eNAM was positive. In Duggirala marginal farmers had an increase of 8.59 per cent, small farmers (8.00 %), medium farmers (7.36 %) and large farmers (7.34 %) in their incomes. In Guntur market there was a positive increase of 6.06 per cent for marginal farmers, 7.54 per cent for small farmers, 7.29 per cent for medium farmers and large farmers 8.24 per cent in their incomes. In Kurnool market, there was a positive change of 7.69, 8.70, 6.40, and 7.38 per cent for marginal, small, medium and large farmers respectively. Opinion of the Duggirala respondents towards eNAM was that they were favourable towards eNAM helped in settlement of disputes, eNAM has reduced wastage of the products, eNAM has reduced manipulations during tendering, eNAM helped to sell entire produce in the single day and it has rationalized market fee, cess etc. Duggirala farmers were most unfavourable xii towards eNAM in promoting stable price realization and neutrally opined for eNAM has rationalized market fee and cess etc. Guntur respondents had favourable opinion for eNAM helped in settlement of disputes between purchasers and sellers and most unfavourable opinion was obtained for three statements i.e., eNAM reduced the difficulty to conduct physical auction during the peak season, eNAM increased the prices received by the farmers and eNAM has reduced wastage of the produce. Neutral opinion was obtained for eNAM has reduced time of auction for farmers. Kurnool respondents had favourable opinion towards eNAM helped in disputes settlement and neutral opinion towards eNAM rationalized market fee, commission charges, cess and taxes and eNAM prevented the entry of middlemen into supply chain. They were unfavourable towards eNAM has promoted stable price realization for the farmers. The major constraints of eNAM from three markets were identified and found that long process involved in eNAM was the major constraint for Duggirala respondents, lack of awareness about eNAM was major constraint for Guntur respondents and connectivity and server problem is the major constraint in Kurnool market.
