One fifty large seeded advanced breeding lines of groundnut were evaluated for pod yield and water use efficiency by following Augmented RBD design with four checks. There are significant differences observed for days to flowering, hundred pod and kernel weight, shelling per cent, kernel length and width. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed for hundred pod weight and hundred kernel weight, suggesting scope for selection for their improvement. Pod yield per plant associated positively with shelling per cent, hundred pod and kernel weight, kernel width and SCMR. Superior advanced breeding lines identified for large seeded advanced breeding line with desirable pod yield and kernel traits can be useful donors for breeding programmes.
