MUMBAI – Prices of chana and tur were mixed while those of moong remained steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Chana prices fell in some markets but held steady in others as weak demand matched low supply, they said. Tur prices were largely stable in some markets amid subdued demand while moong remained steady on lack of fresh cues, they added.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,875-INR 5,900 per 100 kilograms, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices held steady as demand and supply mostly remained weak, he said. Demand has eased following the conclusion of Diwali festivities, he said.

 

Prices are likely to remain range-bound until chana sowing for the ongoing rabi season begins, Kakani said. The progress in sowing and the acreage will likely to determine the near-term price movements, he said. Farmers in Madhya Pradesh are likely to start sowing chana by mid-November, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi fell by INR 25 from Friday to INR 5,900 from INR 5,925 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,200-INR 7,350 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. Three to four trucks, with 20,000-25,000 kg each, arrived in the market, he said. Though there is some demand for tur, it is not enough to lift prices, he said.

 

Prices are expected to remain range-bound in the near term, having already recovered from last week's levels, Sanklecha said. "Prices already rose by INR 300–INR 600 per 100 kg last week, so a further rise is unlikely this week," he said. Reports indicate a delay in the kharif tur harvest. It is likely to be delayed by 15–20 days and may not be a cause for concern, he said.

 

However, 15-20% of the crop may have been damaged by excessive rainfall in Maharashtra and Karnataka, which could provide medium-term support to prices, he said. Maharashtra and Karnataka are the top tur-producing states in the country.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 50 from Friday to INR 7,600-INR 7,700 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

MOONG prices at Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh held steady at INR 6,000-INR 7,200 per 100 kg, the association said. Prices of moong at Jaipur, Rajasthan, were also steady at INR 6,900-INR 7,200 per 100 kg. Prices remained steady on lack of fresh cues, Sanklecha said.

 

Moong prices are expected to rise in the near term due to a shortage of good-quality arrivals from the new kharif crop, Sanklecha said. Excessive rainfall in the second half of September damaged the harvested and stored crop, adding moisture to the legumes, he said. Currently, the market is receiving only medium-to-low quality stock, he added.  End
