MUMBAI – Prices of chana and tur rose while those of moong were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana rose as millers and traders increased purchases for the upcoming festivals, they said. Tur prices rose tracking rise in prices of imports. Prices of moong held steady due to lack of cues, the traders added.

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 100 from Friday to INR 6,375-INR 6,400 per 100 kilograms, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices have increased due to a rise in festival demand for the legume, he said. The country usually enters 'festival season' starting in August, beginning with Raksha Bandhan on Aug. 9, Kakani said. The consumption of chana and besan-based products usually rises during festivals, supporting the prices of the legume, he said. 

Prices are likely to rise further by INR 100-INR 200 per 100 kg this week, Kakani said. A fall in arrivals is also supporting prices, he said. Farmers are also occupied with sowing kharif crops to bring their produce to the market, he said.

Prices of chana in Delhi rose by INR 100 from the previous week to INR 6,300 per 100 kg, according to traders.

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 25-26 trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg of tur each arrived in the market, he said. Prices went up tracking the rise in price levels of imports from Myanmar and African countries, he said. Demand for domestic tur is still sluggish, so prices are taking cues from the price movement of imports, he said.

Prices are also supported by positive market sentiment following an upward trend in prices of other pulses such as chana and yellow peas, Sanklecha said. Tur prices in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 50 from the previous week to INR 6,950-INR 7,050 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

MOONG prices in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, were steady at INR 6,500-INR 7,200 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices of moong in Jaipur, Rajasthan, held steady at INR 6,950-INR 7,150 per 100 kg. Prices remained stable in the upper range due to lack of any cues, Sanklecha said. 

In Madhya Pradesh, moong prices had previously risen due to the government's procurement, 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.  End
