MUMBAI – Prices of chana rose, while prices of tur and moong were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana rose due to reports of delay in sowing chana in some states, they said. Prices of tur were steady amid limited demand, while prices of moong were unchanged due to lack of fresh cues, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 25 from Friday to INR 5,925-INR 5,950 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices were supported by a late start to sowing in the state, he said. Sowing has been delayed by more than 15 days due to unfavourable weather, he said. A rise in rainfall in the region, despite the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon in mid-October, delayed the sowing of many rabi crops such as chana. As such, sowing is likely to wrap up only by the end of November, he said.

 

However, a steep rise in prices is unlikely as the sowing is progressing well, Kakani said. Prices are likely to remain bound in a narrow range in the near term as neither a fall nor rise in demand is anticipated, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Jaipur, Rajasthan, rose by INR 25 from the previous week to INR 6,000 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,200-INR 7,300 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. Five to six trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg of tur each arrived in the market, he said. Prices are steady amid some demand for the legume, which is not enough to lift prices, he said.

 

Prices of tur could be supported by the government's procurement of tur in the state, which is yet to begin, traders said. The government will purchase the legume at the minimum support price of INR 8,000 per 100 kg in Maharashtra, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha. However, a steep rise in prices is unlikely due to the ongoing imports of cheaper tur from African countries, they said.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 7,550-INR 7,650 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association. 

 

MOONG prices at Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh were steady at INR 6,000-INR 7,300 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.

 

Prices are likely to get some support in the near term due to the lack of good-quality arrivals in the market, Sanklecha said. Excessive rainfall in the second half of September damaged the harvested and stored crop, adding moisture to the legume, he said. Currently, the market is receiving only medium-to-low quality stock, he added. Prices are also likely to be supported by the government's procurement of the legume at its minimum support price of INR 8,768 per 100 kg, he said.  End
