MUMBAI – Urad prices are expected to remain range bound in the short term as millers are purchasing only as per needs amid the ongoing summer arrivals and "slow processed demand", the India Pulses and Grains Association said in its weekly report Monday.

While prices are likely to stay steady, the association said higher-priced deliveries expected next week could test millers' demand. Heavy rains have disrupted both sowing and non-sowing regions. Sowing is higher in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh but lags in Karnataka. The sowing window for urad is expected to close soon, with harvests likely to begin in October, the association said.

As of Jun. 27, India's 2025 kharif urad acreage stood at 235,000 hectares, up 65% from 142,000 hectares in the same period last year. Arrivals in mandis across Jabalpur and Gujarat are slowing, with average crop quality. In the week ended Saturday, prices of urad in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, fell by INR 50 from the previous week to INR 7,000 per 100 kilogram, according to the association. Prices of imported urad in Chennai rose by INR 50 from a week ago to INR 6,650-INR 6,675 per 100 kg, the association said.  End
