MUMBAI – Prices of pulses showed a mixed trend across key spot markets in the country Friday, traders said. Chana prices rose due to a decline in arrivals while tur prices fell on weak demand, they said. Masur prices remained steady as subdued demand for the legume matched low supply, the traders added.

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 25 from Thursday to INR 5,825-INR 5,875 per 100 kilogram, said Raja Jain, a local trader. Prices have risen due to a fall in arrivals, he said. Many farmers have stopped bringing their produce to markets as they are busy in kharif sowing, he said. 

Prices of chana are likely to rise, albeit gradually, in the short term as demand during monsoon increases, Jain said. Demand for chana sees an uptick during monsoon as the consumption of namkeen and snacks made from 'besan' or gram flour increases, he explained. Prices are also likely to rise in the medium term due to demand for festivals, starting August, he said. 

Prices of chana in Delhi rose by INR 50 from the previous day to INR 5,800 per 100 kg, traders said.

TUR prices in Akola, Maharashtra, fell by INR 25 from Thursday to INR 6,950-INR 6,975 per 100 kg, said Ashok Gupta, a local trader. Arrivals remained steady at 2,500 bags (1 bag = 50 kg). Prices fell due to sluggish demand for domestic tur as buyers prefer imported tur, which is cheaper, he said. The prices of imported tur from Myanmar and African countries are INR 100-INR 500 per 100 kg cheaper than domestic tur, Gupta said.

Prices of tur in Kalaburagi, Karnataka, fell by INR 56 per 100 kg to INR 6,000-INR 6,813 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association. Arrivals rose by 537 bags to 5,572 bags (1 bag = 50 kg).

MASUR prices in Indore were steady at INR 6,300-INR 6,250 per 100 kg, Jain said. Prices were steady as low arrivals matched weak demand, he said. Jain does not see any rise in demand for the legume in the short term, he said. 

Prices of the choti variety of masur in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,800-INR 6,150 per 100 kg, the association said. Prices of the moti variety of masur in Lalitpur remained stable at INR 6,000-INR 6,500 per 100 kg.  End
