MUMBAI - Prices of chana and urad showed a mixed trend, while tur fell in key spot markets across the country Tuesday, traders said. Prices of tur fell amid sluggish demand and a slight rise in arrivals, they said. Prices of chana fell in some markets ahead of the arrivals of imports from Australia, while urad was down in some markets due to the arrival of the new kharif crop.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 50 from Monday to INR 5,800-INR 5,835 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices were down tracking a fall in prices of imported chana, he said. Ahead of the arrival of chana shipments from Australia, import prices fell due to a fall in landing costs, he said. A vessel carrying 38,506.120 tonnes of chana from Australia is scheduled to arrive at the Kandla port on Thursday, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association. This will be the first of many such Nov-Dec shipments of Australian chana, which are cheaper than the domestic variety.

 

The market is monitoring the progress of rabi chana sowing for more cues, Kakani said. As of Friday, the acreage under chana was 2.68 million hectares, up 31% on year from 2.05 million hectares sown last year, data from the agriculture ministry showed.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,850-INR 5,900 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Akola, Maharashtra, fell by INR 75 from Monday to INR 7,025-INR 7,050 per 100 kg, traders said. Prices fell due to weak demand amid a slight rise in supply, they said. 

 

Tur production in the 2025 kharif season is likely to see a decline as heavy rainfall during the southwest monsoon and post-monsoon showers have resulted in crop loss and damage in key producing regions in the country, analysts said. "There are two aspects to the impact on production, the quantitative loss and the qualitative loss," G. Chandrashekhar, policy commentator and commodity markets expert, said. "We may have the numbers, and yes, the harvest side quantity could be lower, but within that, a part of the crop could be substandard; it could not meet the FAQ (fair average quality)," he added.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 50 from Monday to INR 7,050-INR 7,150 per 100 kg.

 

URAD prices at Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh fell by INR 50 from Monday to INR 6,850 per 100 kg, traders said. Urad prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were steady at INR 6,400-7,200 per 100 kg. Prices fell in some markets due to a rise in arrivals of the kharif crop, traders said.

 

Urad prices are expected to be range-bound with a slight downward bias in the near term due to ample supply, the association said in its weekly report on Monday. The ongoing arrivals of the newly harvested kharif crop and stocks of the imported legume at ports is likely to prevent a rise in prices, it said. Buying interest remains low in both the imported and domestic markets, indicating weak consumption. Demand for processed pulses usually slows down during winter as households shift to consuming green vegetables, it said.  End
