MUMBAI – Prices of pulses in key spot markets across the country Friday were steady, traders said. Prices of chana were unchanged amid limited demand, they said. Prices of tur were flat due to low market activity amid continuing imports of cheaper tur, they said. Prices of masur were steady owing to a lack of fresh cues, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,700-INR 5,750 per 100 kg, said Raja Jain, a local trader. Prices are steady because of limited demand from millers and traders, who are purchasing only as needed, he said. The continued imports of chana from Australia, which are cheaper than the domestic variety, is preventing an upward movement in prices, he said.

 

Prices are likely to remain range-bound till the market has a clearer picture of this year's chana acreage, Jain said. Chana sowing in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra is expected to have fallen as farmers have shifted to more profitable crops such as wheat, he said. However, the fall is likely to be made up by a rise in acreage in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh, he said. As such, overall chana acreage this rabi season is likely to be slightly up from last year, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,725-INR 5,750 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Akola, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,900-INR 6,950 per 100 kg, said Ashok Gupta, a local trader. Prices are steady due to tepid market activity, he said. Though there is a shortage in domestic arrivals as older stocks of the legume have dried up and new arrivals are yet to begin in full swing, imports from Africa are keeping supply comfortable, he said. Tur from African countries, which is cheaper than the domestic variety, is likely to keep prices from rising anytime soon, he said.

 

Arrivals of the newly harvested kharif tur in Maharashtra will begin from Dec. 15–20, Gupta said. Some arrivals of the new crop have begun in Raichur district in Karnataka, though it still has high moisture content of around 15%, he said.

 

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-INR 6,050 per 100 kg, Jain said. Prices are steady due to a lack of cues in the domestic market, he said. Prices are unlikely to show a major change in the near term due to continuing imports, he said. In the medium term, prices are likely to be weighed down by a rise in imports from Myanmar, 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
