MUMBAI - Prices of chana and moong remained steady while tur declined in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Tur prices came under pressure due to increased imports of cheaper varieties from African countries, they noted. Chana was stable amid cautious market sentiment, and moong prices were unchanged in the absence of fresh cues, the traders added.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,650-INR 5,700 per 100 kilograms, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices are unchanged due to cautious market sentiment amid steady imports, tepid demand, and the ongoing sowing of rabi chana, he said. Despite the current wedding season, demand for chana has not risen "as much as expected", he said. Meanwhile, the country is likely to receive another Nov-Dec shipment of imports from Australia next week, which is keeping market sentiment cautious, he said. Prices are likely to fall by INR 100-INR 200 per 100 kg once those shipments hit Indian ports, he said.

 

The market is also monitoring the progress of rabi chana sowing across the country, Kakani said. In Madhya Pradesh, the second-largest producer of the legume, chana acreage is progressing well, and is likely to be the same as last year, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi held steady at INR 5,560-INR 5,700 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, declined by INR 100 from Friday to INR 6,200-INR 6,750 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. Around 10-12 trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg tur each arrived in the market, he said. Prices are under pressure from the rise in imports of cheaper tur from African countries, he said. Last week, the country received a shipment of 9,228 tonnes (9.23 million kg) from Mozambique, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

Though some markets in Karnataka have begun receiving small batches of the new kharif tur arrivals, they are yet to be traded due to their low quality, Sanklecha said. Excessive rainfall during the southwest monsoon and post-monsoon showers have damaged some of the tur crop and introduced moisture, he said. The moisture content in the new arrivals is 14–15%, which is considered to be poor quality, he said.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 50 from the previous week to INR 7,050-INR 7,150 per 100 kg, the association said.

 

MOONG prices at Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh remained steady at INR 6,000-INR 7,200 per 100 kg, the association said. Prices of moong in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were also steady at INR 6,700-INR 7,000 per 100 kg. Prices are unchanged due to a lack of fresh cues and are likely to remain steady until arrivals of the new kharif crop start to slow, which is expected by December, Sanklecha said.  End
