MUMBAI – Prices of chana and tur fell, while prices of masur were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana fell due to muted demand and subdued market sentiment, they said. Prices of tur fell due to sluggish demand and ample imports, they said. Prices of masur are likely to remain steady in the near term as demand is not seen rising.

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 50 from Monday to INR 5,700-INR 5,750 per 100 kg, said Gaurav Kochar, a local trader. With the market still reeling from the extension of duty-free imports of yellow peas, subdued demand for chana has pushed prices down further, he said. Even with a fall in arrivals on month, dampened market sentiment is weighing on prices, he said.

Prices are unlikely to rise until July or early August, when demand rises ahead of festivals, Kochar said. Even then, prices are expected to rise by only INR 100-INR 200 per 100 kg, he said. Prices would have risen more, but the availability of yellow peas has eaten into the market share of chana, he said. On May 30, the government extended duty-free imports of yellow peas till Mar. 31, 2026. Yellow pea is a cheaper alternative to chana.

Prices of chana in Jaipur, Rajasthan, fell by INR 50 from the previous day to INR 5,700 per 100 kg, traders said.

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, fell by INR 100 from Monday to INR 6,500-INR 6,850 per 100 kg, traders said. About 17–18 trucks, each laden with 20,000-25,000 kg of tur, arrived in the market on Monday, they said. Prices fell due to sluggish demand for the legume, they said. Most millers have wrapped up purchases for their processing pipeline for the month, they said. Prices are also weighed down by ample availability of imports, they said.

Prices of tur in Kalaburagi, Karnataka, fell by INR 100 from the previous day to INR 6,000-INR 6,759 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association. Arrivals fell by 2,027 bags to 3,916 bags (1 bag = 50 kg).

MASUR prices in Indore were steady at INR 6,100-INR 6,200 per 100 kg due to lack cues, said Kochar. Prices have settled in the lower range after the government wrapped up its procurement at the minimum support price of INR 6,700 per 100 kg, he said. Prices are likely to remain steady in the short term, with Kochar saying he does not expect any rise in demand for the legume. 

Prices of the moti variety of masur at Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh were steady at INR 5,700-INR 6,050 per 100 kg, the association said. Prices of the choti variety in Lalitpur were also steady at INR 6,100-INR 6,500 per 100 kg.  End
