  Variability analysis was performed to investigate the physical, yield and bio-chemical attributes of twenty different tamarind genotypes. The experiment was conducted during the year 2018 and 2019 at the instructional-cum-research farm, department of horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar. The genotypes were evaluated for various traits with the major emphasis on pulp colour, pulp percentage, yield, yield efficiency, TSS content and acidity percentage. On the basis of pulp colour, genotypes were grouped accordingly into 2 categories which consist of 3 reddish-brown and 17 brown pulp genotypes. The highest variability among reddish-brown pulp genotypes were observed with respect to yield efficiency (1.86 kg/m3 to 4.75 kg/m3); ascorbic acid content (1.50 mg/100 g to 2.70 mg/100 g); vein per cent (2.57% to 4.33%); yield per plant (42..
