MUMBAI – Prices of tur fell Friday, while those of masur were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana were steady in some markets but fell in others due to a dip in demand, they said. Prices of tur fell due to a correction after the steep rise, they said. 

 

CHANA prices at Indore in Madhya Pradesh fell by INR 50 to INR 5,850-INR 5,900 per 100 kilograms, Raja Jain, a local trader, said. Prices fell due to a fall in demand as millers have wrapped up their purchases for the week, he said. "Millers are almost done stocking up and processing chana ahead of Diwali. We may see some more demand next week for two to three days, but that will be it," he said. Millers and traders are likely to shut shop a few days before Diwali to prepare for the festivities, he said. This year, Diwali falls on Oct. 20.

 

Prices are expected to fall due to pressure from Australian imports once Diwali is over, Jain said. Shipments of chana from Australia, which are cheaper and of better quality than the domestic variety, will begin arriving in the country mid-October onwards, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,900 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices at Akola in Maharashtra fell by INR 50 from Thursday to INR 6,975-INR 7,000 per 100 kg, Ashok Gupta, a local trader, said. Prices corrected slightly after they rose by INR 500 per 100 kg this week due to a revival in demand, he said. "Prices rose more than expected, so now a correction by INR 50-INR 100 per 100 kg is necessary," he said.

 

Prices are likely to stay range-bound till Diwali due to festival demand, Gupta said. After the festival is over, prices could come under pressure from the imports of cheaper tur from Myanmar and African countries. However, a steep fall in prices is unlikely as prices are already low, he said.

 

Prices of tur at Katni in Madhya Pradesh fell by INR 50 from the previous day to INR 7,050-INR 7,150 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

MASUR prices in Indore were steady at INR 6,050-INR 6,100 per 100 kg, Jain said. Prices held steady as the government has been offloading masur in small quantities, meeting demand in the market, he said. Prices are expected to remain steady in the near term, he said.

 

Prices of the choti variety of masur at Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh remained steady at INR 5,800-INR 6,100 per 100 kg, the association said. Prices of the moti variety in Lalitpur were also steady at INR 7,200-INR 7,700 per 100 kg.  End
