MUMBAI – Prices of pulses were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of tur were unchanged due to steady need-based demand from millers, they said. Prices of chana were steady amid low market activity, and prices of masur were flat as demand for the legume matched its supply, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,750-INR 5,800 per 100 kg, said Raja Jain, a local trader. Prices were steady due to low market activity amid limited arrivals, he said. Arrivals of last year's rabi crop have almost exhausted, he said. "People in need of big quantities of chana are going to the import market only," he said. Nov-Dec shipments of chana from Australia, which are cheaper than the domestic variety, began arriving on Thursday.

 

Price movement is usually subdued during this time of the year as the market monitors the progress of rabi chana sowing, Jain said. The market is likely to have a clearer picture of whether chana acreage has risen or fallen from the previous year in another 10–15 days, he said. Meanwhile, domestic prices are likely to track prices of imported chana due to lack of cues in the domestic market, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,850-INR 5,875 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Akola, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 7,025-INR 7,050 per 100 kg, said Ashok Gupta, a local trader. Prices were unchanged amid steady need-based demand from millers, he said. Though demand from millers is likely to rise in the next 15 days or so as they make their monthly purchases, a steep rise in prices is unlikely due to the ongoing imports of cheaper tur from African countries and Myanmar, he said.

 

In Karnataka, arrivals of the new kharif tur crop are likely to begin in full swing post Dec. 15, while arrivals in Maharashtra will begin after Jan. 15, Gupta said. Arrivals are slightly delayed this year as excessive rainfall in September and October delayed the harvest of the crop.

 

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.

 

MASUR prices in Indore were steady at INR 6,000 per 100 kg, Jain said. Prices were steady as demand for the legume was on a par with its supply, he said. Prices are unlikely to see any major fluctuations till arrivals of the new rabi masur, which is currently being sown, start in the market, he said. Currently, all need-based demand is being met by the government offloading small amounts of its stock and the ongoing imports, he said. 

 

Prices of the choti variety of masur in Lalitpur, 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 7,500-INR 8,400 per 100 kg.  End
