MUMBAI – Prices of chana rose today while those of tur fell in key spot markets across the country, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association. Prices of moong were stable in major markets, it said. 

CHANA prices in Amravati, Maharashtra, were up 100 rupees at 6,800-6,900 rupees per 100 kg.

Prices at Kalaburagi in Karnataka were up by 100 rupees at 6,600-7,100 per 100 kg, with arrivals at 300 bags, local trader Veerkumar Kadkol said. "Millers are buying chana in large quantities ahead of the start of the festival season," Kadkol said. Chana is also used in making sweets.

"Millers are buying at a slower pace due to sluggish demand," Kakani said. "Over a month, tur prices have fallen by 1,500 rupees per 100 kg," Pradeep Sahu, another Indore-based trader, said.

Prices of MOONG in the key wholesale market of Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh were steady at 7,200-7,650 rupees per 100 kg.

Prices in Kalaburagi were steady at 7,700-7,750 rupees per 100 kg, Kadkol said. "Demand for chana is more right now than for moong," he said.
