MUMBAI – Prices of chana rose while prices of tur and moong were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana rose in tandem with rise in prices of Australian imports, they said. Prices of tur were flat amid steady demand from millers and traders, while prices of moong were unchanged due to lack of cues, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 25 from Friday to INR 5,750-INR 5,800 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices rose tracking higher prices of imports from Australia, he said. Currently, the market is taking cues from the movement in import prices as activity in the domestic market is tepid, he said. "In the domestic market, whatever is coming is selling, it's all low," he said.

 

The sowing of rabi chana in Madhya Pradesh has reached its last stages, Kakani said. Chana acreage in the state is very likely to match last year's levels, he said. Though reports suggested that some farmers have shifted to sowing wheat from chana, the number is only a handful and is unlikely to impact the final acreage level, he said. With the prevailing favourable weather, the output is also expected to be "good," he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi rose by INR 25 from last week to INR 5,725-INR 5,750 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,200-INR 6,750 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. Two to three trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg of the older stocks of tur arrived in the market, while seven to eight trucks of the newly harvested crop also arrived, he said. Prices are unchanged amid steady demand for the legume from millers and traders, he said.

 

Though the new arrivals of the freshly harvested crop are of average quality, millers and traders are purchasing it anyway to fulfil their processing needs. "They would prefer completely dry tur but now that the market is receiving more of the new crop, so they are buying that only," he said. Currently, the Solapur market is receiving new kharif tur arrivals from Karnataka. Arrivals of the new crop from Maharashtra are likely to begin by the end of December, he said.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 7,150-INR 7,250 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

MOONG prices at Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh remained steady at INR 6,500-INR 7,200 per 100 kg, the association said. Prices of moong in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were also steady at INR 6,800-INR 7,100 per 100 kg. Prices are steady due to a lack of fresh cues, he said. Prices are likely to increase by INR 50-INR 100 per 100 kg in the near term as arrivals of the new kharif crop are beginning to slow down, he said.  End
