MUMBAI – Prices of tur and urad remained steady, while those of chana showed mixed trends in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana were flat in some markets and fell in others due to sluggish demand despite the ongoing wedding season, they said. Prices of both old stocks of tur and the newly harvested crop remained flat as demand matched supply, while prices of urad were steady due to a lack of cues, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 50 to INR 5,650-INR 5,700 per 100 kilograms, Kailash Kakani, a local trader, said. Prices are weighed down by sluggish demand, he said. "Millers are saying there is no demand for processed chana despite the ongoing wedding season, so they are not buying here (at the spot markets)," he said. Demand for imported chana is also lower than expected this year, he said. Domestic chana prices are likely to fall by INR 100–INR 150 per 100 kg in the near term if demand does not pick up, he said.

 

The sowing of rabi chana is progressing well due to favourable weather conditions, Kakani said. As of Friday, chana acreage across the country rose 3.6% to 7.8 million hectares from 7.5 million hectares a year ago, data from the agriculture ministry showed.

 

However, prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,600-INR 5,625 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

Prices of old TUR in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,200-INR 6,750 per 100 kg while prices of the new kharif tur were also unchanged at INR 6,700-INR 7,250 per 100 kg, Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader, said. Five to six trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg each of old tur stocks and 22–23 trucks of the freshly harvested tur arrived in the market, he said. Prices held steady as demand matched its supply, he said.

 

Prices are likely to rise by INR 100-INR 200 per 100 kg in the near term as arrivals of the new kharif tur crop are yet to begin in full swing, he said. Currently, arrivals of the latest crop are lower compared to the same period last year, he said. Prices could have risen further, but the availability of ample imports from African countries and Myanmar is preventing a steep climb, he said.

 

Tur prices in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, were INR 7,150-7,250 per 100 kg, unchanged from Monday, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

URAD prices at Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh were steady at INR 6,500 per 100 kg, traders said. Urda prices were steady in Jaipur, Rajasthan, at INR 6,600-INR 7,500 per 100 kg. Prices were steady due to a lack of fresh cues, traders said.

 

Urad prices are likely to stay range-bound in the near term amid comfortable stocks, the association said in its weekly report on Monday. Prices are likely to trade in the range of INR 7,300-INR 7,800 per 100 kg, it said. Myanmar's old stocks, along with the upcoming new crop, will keep overall supply steady, it said.  End
