MUMBAI – Prices of chana and tur were stable across most markets in the country today, the India Pulses and Grains Association said. Similarly, those of moong were stable across most major markets, traders said. However, chana prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh rose slightly today, they added.  

Prices of CHANA in Khamgaon, Maharashtra, were steady at 6,300-6,550 rupees per 100 kg, with arrivals up by 100 bags at 500 bags (1 bag = 100 kg) from the previous day, the association said. Prices at Amravati, Maharashtra, were also stable at 6,200-6,550 rupees per 100 kg, though arrivals were up by 200 bags at 500 bags (1 bag = 100 kg), the association said.

Chana prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were up by 50 rupees at 7,050-7,100 rupees per 100 kg, local trader Kailash Kakani said. Expensive imports, limited government stock, and a rise in seasonal demand early next month due to festivals, may help improve chana prices in the long run, he said. Prices of chana at Kalaburagi in Karnataka were stable at 7,100 rupees per 100 kg, local trader Veerkumar Kadkol said. 

TUR prices in the key wholesale market of Hinganghat were steady at 10,200-11,590 rupees per 100 kg, although arrivals were lower at 380 bags (1 bag = 50 kg) from 600 bags. Similarly, tur prices at Akola were steady 11,900-11,950 rupees per 100 kg, with arrivals stable at 800 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), the association said. 

The price trend in tur will now mostly depend on the supply of the pulse from Africa, and the progress of the monsoon, the association said. India's tur, or pigeon peas, imports in May rose 57.4% from a year ago to 60,271.58 tn, led by higher imports from Mozambique and Sudan, according to data by the commerce and industry ministry.

Prices of MOONG in the key wholesale market of Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh were stable at 7,500-7,900 rupees per 100 kg, as arrivals were steady at 1,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), the association said. Moong prices at Pipariya in Madhya Pradesh were stable at 7,000-8,100 rupees per 100 kg, as arrivals were up at 5,000 bags (1 bag = 100 kg) from 4,000 bags, it said. Prices of moong in Kalaburagi were down by 100 rupees to 7,800 rupees per 100 kg, Kadkol said. India's kharif moong acreage 2.5 mln ha so far vs 2.3 mln ha yr ago.
