MUMBAI – Prices of chana and tur showed mixed trend, while those of moong were steady in key spot markets across the country Monday, traders said. Prices of chana were steady in some markets, while they fell in others due to the upcoming arrivals of cheaper imports from Australia, they said. Tur fell in some markets tracking a fall in import prices, they said. Prices of moong were steady due to a lack of cues, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 50 from Friday to INR 5,850-INR 5,900 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices fell ahead of the arrivals of chana from Australia, he said. The Nov-Dec shipments of Australian chana, which are cheaper than the domestic variety, will begin arriving at ports starting Thursday, he said.

 

Prices are likely to stay range-bound in the near term amid tepid demand and ample availability of the legume, Kakani said. Consistent supply of imported chana is likely to hit markets every 15–20 days, keeping supply higher amid lower arrivals of the domestic variety, he said. "Usually there is less movement in prices during this time of the year as the focus is diverted towards the progress of rabi chana sowing," he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,875-INR 5,925 per 100 kg, traders said. 

 

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, fell by INR 6,200-INR 7,000 per 100 kg, traders said. Two to three trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg of tur each arrived in the market, they said. Prices fell tracking a fall in prices of imported commodity, they said. Prices are likely to move in a narrow range with a slight downward bias amid higher offloading by stockists and muted demand, they said.

 

Prices could be supported in the medium term due to concerns about lower kharif tur output. The output of tur, the largest kharif legume in terms of both acreage and volume, is pegged at 3.0–3.4 million tonnes, down from 3.56 million tonnes produced last year, according to analysts. Output is expected to be lower due to excessive rainfall during the southwest monsoon and post-monsoon showers in Maharashtra and Karnataka, the top producers of tur in the country.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 7,100-INR 7,200 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 7,200 per 100 kg, the association said. Prices of moong at Jaipur, Rajasthan, were also steady at INR 6,800-INR 7,100 per 100 kg. Prices remained steady on lack of fresh cues, traders said. 

 

According to analysts, the production of moong in kharif 2025 is seen at 1-1.70 million tonnes, down from 1.75 million tonnes a year ago. Similar to other pulses, the moong crop was also impacted by excessive rainfall in the second half of September and first half of October. A large portion of the harvested crop was also damaged due to prolonged exposure to rainfall.  End
