MUMBAI – Prices of chana and moong were steady while those of new tur crop rose and old tur remained unchanged across key spot markets Monday, traders said. Chana prices remained flat on weak market activity and moong was stable as tepid demand matched weak supply. Prices of new tur increased as buyers preferred fresh stocks over older ones for filling up their processing pipeline, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, held steady at INR 5,700-INR 5,750 per 100 kilograms, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices remained steady amid tepid market activity, he said. Despite the ongoing wedding season, demand for chana dal or processed chana and besan is lower than expected, he said. Domestic arrivals are also weak due to low stocks of the older crop. "Whatever buyers need, they are buying from the import market only as it is cheaper and of better quality," he said. However, demand for the chana imported from Australia is also "mostly limited," he said. "There is good supply everywhere, so buying is muted," he said.

 

The sowing of rabi chana in Madhya Pradesh has almost wrapped up, Kakani said. Cool temperatures and adequate soil moisture have encouraged "good" sowing of chana in the state, and the final acreage is expected to match last year's levels, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,500-INR 5,525 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

Prices of old TUR in Solapur, Maharashtra, held steady at INR 6,200-INR 6,750 per 100 kg while prices of the new kharif tur rose by INR 150 from Friday to INR 6,700-INR 7,250 per 100 kg, Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader, said. Around 10 trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg each of old tur stocks and 24–25 trucks of the freshly harvested tur arrived in the market, he said. Prices of new tur firmed up due to a rise in demand from millers as they stock up for the rest of the month, he said. Millers and traders prefer the newer tur over the older stocks, he said.

 

Though arrivals of the new tur are increasing, they are nowhere near the levels during the same period last year, Sanklecha said. "That's why there is no arrival pressure yet," he said. The harvest of the new kharif crop in Karnataka, from where Solapur is currently receiving the commodity, was delayed this year on excessive rainfall during September and October. Therefore, arrivals are yet to begin in full swing, he said.

 

Prices of new tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 50 from Friday to 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 stable at INR 6,500-INR 7,800 per 100 kg. Moong prices are steady as demand and supply of the legume are both low and equally matched, Sanklecha said while adding that he expects prices to stay range-bound in the near term.  End
