MUMBAI – Prices of chana rose in key spot markets across the country due to seasonal monsoon demand for the legume, traders said. Moong prices remained steady, supported by government procurement while tur prices showed a mixed trend, holding steady in some markets but declining in others amid sluggish demand and and the availability of cheaper African imports, they said.

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 50 from Friday to INR 6,100-INR 6,150 per 100 kilogram, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices have risen due to higher demand for besan (gram flour) and processed chana, or chana dal, during monsoon, he said. The consumption of chana and besan-based food items typically rises during this time of the year, Kakani said.

Prices are likely to rise further by INR 100-INR 200 per 100 kg in the medium term due to festival demand, Kakani said. Prices of chana in Delhi rose by INR 50 from the previous week to INR 6,000 per 100 kg, traders said.

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, held steady at INR 6,700-INR 6,800 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. About 26–27 trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg of tur each arrived in the market, he said. Prices are steady due to lack of significant cues, he said.

Prices are likely to fall further on the availability of cheaper imports from African countries, denting the demand for domestic tur, Sanklecha said. Prices of tur from African countries range from INR 5,500 to INR 6,200 per 100 kg. With ample supply of the legume in these countries, the prices of African tur shipments, which are expected to arrive in India in August and September, are even cheaper, he said.

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 50 from the previous week to INR 6,850-INR 6,950 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

MOONG prices in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, remained stable at INR 6,500-INR 7,100 per 100 kg, the association said. Prices of moong in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were steady at INR 6,750-INR 7,050 per 100 kg.

Moong prices are being supported by the government's procurement in Madhya Pradesh, Sanklecha said. Madhya Pradesh is the top producer of the legume in the country, with the bulk of it grown mostly during the summer crop season. The state is procuring the legume at the minimum support price of INR 8,682 per 100 kg, the highest among all pulses. Once the procurement ends, prices are likely to fall by INR 100 per 100 kg, he added.  End
