MUMBAI – Prices of all pulses were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana were steady due to low market activity owing to heavy rainfall in central and northwest India, they said. Prices of tur were steady amid lack of fresh cues, they said. Prices of masur are likely to rise in the near term due to a drop in arrivals, they said.

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 6,450-INR 6,500 per 100 kg, said Dinesh Mangal, a local trader. Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 6,375 per 100 kg, traders said. Prices continued to be steady for the second consecutive day as torrential rainfall in central and northwest India kept market activity subdued, Mangal said. Most key spot markets of chana are located in these regions.

In the past 24 hours, heavy to very heavy rainfall was recorded over parts of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand, while heavy rainfall was recorded over parts of Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh, according to the India Meteorological Department.

Prices are likely to rise INR 100-INR 200 per 100 kg in the near term due to firm festival demand, Mangal said, adding that the rise is likely to be limited as stockists are expected to begin offloading their stocks to take advantage of the elevated price levels.

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,500-INR 6,600 per 100 kg, said Rahul Srinivas, a local trader. About 20–22 trucks arrived in the market, carrying 20,000-25,000 kg of tur each, he said. Prices are steady due to lack of any cues, he said. As the demand for domestic tur is low, the market is largely taking direction from the price movement of imported tur, he said. However, prices of imported tur are also stable, he said.

Prices of tur are likely to be range-bound in the short term, and could come under pressure in the medium term as imports are seen increasing, Srinivas said. Shipments of African-origin tur are likely to increase in September, he said.

MASUR prices in Indore were steady at INR 6,600-INR 6,650 per 100 kg, Mangal said. Prices are likely to rise as arrivals are low and are likely to drop further, he said. Farmers and stockists do not have enough stocks as most of the crop was bought by the government, he said. Unless the government releases tenders to sell stocks, prices could touch INR 7,000 per 100 kg in the near term, he said.

Prices of the choti variety of masur at Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh were steady at INR 6,200-INR 6,800 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices of the moti variety of masur in Lalitpur rose by INR 100 from Thursday to INR 8,500-INR 8,800 per 100 kg.  End
