NEW DELHI – Prices of tur and masur were largely steady in key spot markets of the country on Thursday, while chana prices rose slightly in select centres, traders said. Chana prices firmed up in Indore and Delhi tracking higher imported prices. Tur was mostly unchanged due to limited arrivals and need-based buying. Masur prices also remained steady as supply from government stocks and imports kept the market adequately supplied, traders said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 50 from Wednesday to INR 5,700–INR 5,750 per 100 kg, Dinesh Mangal, a local trader, said. Prices were up as chana imported from Australia became costlier. "Currently the demand for domestic chana matches its low supply, which is why the market is taking cues from the price movement of imported chana," Mangal said.

 

Prices are likely to remain rangebound with a weak bias due to a seasonal lull in demand, he said. Sowing of rabi chana is progressing well in Madhya Pradesh, which is likely to exert some pressure on prices in the near term, he added.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were up INR 25 from the previous day at INR 5,750–INR 5,775 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,200–INR 6,950 per 100 kg, according to local trader Rahul Srinivas. Around three to four trucks carrying 20,000–25,000 kg each of tur arrived in the market, he said. Prices were unchanged amid some need-based purchases by millers, he said.

 

Prices are likely to be supported in the near term due to reports of crop loss in Maharashtra, one of India's top tur-producing states, said Ankit Kedia, a local trader from Maharashtra. While the Vidarbha belt did not see crop loss despite excessive rainfall in September and October, the standing crop in the Nanded belt has been damaged, he said.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 7,200–INR 7,300 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

MASUR prices in Indore were steady at INR 6,000–INR 6,050 per 100 kg, Mangal said. Prices remained flat as demand for the legume was in line with supply, he said. The lack of arrivals in the market is being compensated by government stocks and imported masur, he added. The government is offloading small batches to meet demand, while ongoing imports are keeping supply comfortable.

 

Prices of the moti variety of masur in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,800–INR 6,150 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices of the choti variety in Lalitpur were also steady at INR 7,500–INR 8,700 per 100 kg.   End
