MUMBAI – Prices of chana and masur were steady on Thursday while prices of tur showed mixed trend in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana were unchanged as low demand matched low supply. The prices are likely to remain range-bound till rabi chana sowing ends, they said. Prices of tur were steady in some markets due to limited demand, while prices of masur were flat due to lack of cues, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,700-INR 5,800 per 100 kg, said Dinesh Mangal, a local trader. Prices are steady as demand and supply are low and equally matched, he said. The ongoing imports of chana from Australia, which are cheaper than the domestic variety, is also weighing on prices, he said.

 

Prices are likely to remain bound in the lower range until the rabi chana sowing wraps up, Mangal said. Currently, the sowing of chana in Madhya Pradesh, one of the top producers of the legume, is progressing well and is likely to reach last year's levels, he said. Chana prices are expected to see a major change only once the market has clarity about the acreage and estimate of production this season, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,775-INR 5,800 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,200-INR 6,700 per 100 kg, said Rahul Srinivas, a local trader. Four to five trucks carrying 20,000-25,000 kg of the older stock of tur arrived in the market, while two to three trucks of the newly harvested tur also arrived, he said. Prices are steady amid some need-based demand from millers, he said.

 

The Solapur market has begun receiving some arrivals of the newly harvested crop from Karnataka, Srinivas said. Though the crop has a high moisture content of around 15%, stockists are likely to begin bulk-buying soon, he said. "Whenever the new crop comes, prices are supported by all the stockists wanting to get their hands on the new crop," he said.

 

Tur production is seen rising 2.8% on year to 3.6 million tonnes, according to the first advance estimates of India's kharif food grain output for the crop year 2025-26 (Jul-Jun) released by the government on Wednesday.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 50 from Wednesday to 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–INR 6,050 per 100 kg, Mangal said. Prices were unchanged due to lack of cues, he said. Demand for the legume is being fulfilled by the government's stocks and the little arrivals currently coming into markets, he said. Prices are unlikely to see a substantial movement until arrivals of the new rabi masur begin, he said.

 

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 8,800 per 100 kg.   End
