MUMBAI – Tur and chana prices slightly rose Friday, while masur prices remained unchanged from the previous day. Tur and chana prices rose due to a fall in arrivals, market participants said.
Prices of TUR in Maharashtra's Akola were up by INR 50 at INR 6,350-INR 6,375 per 100 kg, local trader Ankit Kedia said. "This change will not last long as tur prices are likely to stay under pressure in the short term due to weak demand from millers, slow sales of tur dal, availability of cheaper alternatives such as yellow peas, and slow government procurement," he said. Tur arrivals in Akola were around 2,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), down 200 bags from previous day, he said.
Prices of CHANA in Akola rose by INR 50 to INR 6,000 per 100 kg, Kedia said. Arrivals fell by 1,000 bags to 4,000 bags (1 bag = 50 kg), he said. "Less arrivals were there on Friday which led to a slight increase in price. However, due to availability of cheaper substitutes such as yellow peas, chana prices could witness limited gains in near term," he said.
Chana prices at Indore in Madhya Pradesh were steady at INR 5,750-INR 5,800 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a trader from the state. Sluggish procurement by the government is not very helpful, he said. As of Apr 22, the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation procured 10,385 tonnes of chana as of Sunday, 0.38% of the 2.7 million tonnes it aims to buy during the 2024-25 rabi season under the price support scheme, according to data provided by the federation.
Prices of the moti variety of MASUR were steady at Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh at INR 6,475-INR 6,500 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association. Prices of the choti variety of masur in Bareilly were steady at INR 6,900 per 100 kg. End
