MUMBAI – Prices of chana and moong were steady, while those of tur rose in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana were steady amid limited demand, they said. Prices of tur rose due to a rise in demand from millers, they said. Prices of moong were steady, supported by the government's procurement, they said.

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,960-INR 6,000 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Though there was some demand for the legume, it was not substantial enough to raise prices, he said. Prices could rise by INR 50-INR 100 per 100 kg in the short term due to seasonal demand for chana during monsoon, he said.

Prices could have risen further but the availability of yellow peas is hampering any steep rise, Kakani said. Yellow peas is a cheaper alternative to chana. In the financial year 2024-25 (Apr-Mar), the country imported 2.16 million tonnes of yellow peas, up 85% from the previous year. Imports of yellow peas stand the highest among all pulses.

Prices of chana in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were steady at INR 5,750 per 100 kg, traders said.

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, rose by INR 50 from Friday to INR 6,750-INR 6,850 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. About 15–16 trucks, carrying 20,000-25,000 kg of tur each, arrived in the market, he said. Prices rose due to a rise in demand from millers, he said. Millers usually make more purchases in the first week of the month to fill up their processing pipeline for the rest of the month, he said. 

However, a further rise in prices is unlikely, Sanklecha said. Prices may fall in July when imports of tur from African countries are likely to increase, he said. Imported tur is much cheaper than domestic tur, thus the demand for the former is much greater, he said.

Prices of tur in Kalaburagi, Karnataka, rose by INR 95 from the previous week to INR 6,000-INR 7,014 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association. Arrivals rose by 725 bags to 6,159 bags (1 bag = 50 kg).

MOONG prices in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, were steady at INR 6,200-INR 6,900 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices of moong in Kalaburagi were steady at INR 6,000-INR 7,000 per 100 kg. Though the demand for moong is low, prices are likely to remain steady in the short term, supported by the government's procurement of the legume in major producing states. 

The Centre on Tuesday approved the procurement of moong in Madhya Pradesh under the Price Support Scheme, which buys commodities at the minimum support prices. The government has fixed the minimum support price for moong in the 2024-25 kharif marketing season at INR 8,682 per 100 kilograms, the highest among all pulses.  End
