MUMBAI – Prices of chana were steady amid cautious market sentiment Wednesday while tur rose and urad showed mixed trend in key spot markets, traders said. Tur prices rose, tracking upward movement in import prices and improved demand for the freshly harvested kharif crop, they said. Urad edged higher in some markets following the rise in import prices, they added.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, remained steady at INR 5,700-INR 5,750 per 100 kg, traders said. Prices are stable amid cautious market sentiment, said Aniket Mehta, a local trader. "The market is quite silent," he said, adding weak demand despite the ongoing wedding season is weighing on the mood. The demand for chana dal or processed chana and besan usually rises during the wedding season, which spans from November to February.

 

The market is also monitoring the pace and prices of the ongoing chana imports, Mehta said. According to reports, another shipment of around 33,000 tonnes of chana from Australia is on its way to India, he said. Such shipments are likely to continue to arrive at Indian ports till the end of December, which is likely to put pressure on domestic markets, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi held steady at INR 5,600-INR 5,625 per 100 kg, traders said,

 

Prices of old TUR in Solapur, Maharashtra, rose by INR 50 from Tuesday to INR 6,200-INR 6,800 per 100 kg while prices of the new kharif tur also increased by INR 50 to INR 6,700-INR 7,300 per 100 kg, traders said. Seven to eight trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg each of old tur stocks and 26–27 trucks of the freshly harvested tur arrived in the market. Prices rose, tracking a rise in prices of imported tur, traders said. Prices of imported tur from African countries and Myanmar rose in the range of INR 25–INR 100 Wednesday, they said.

 

Prices also rose on rise in demand for the newly harvested tur amid lower-than-expected arrivals, traders said. Millers and traders prefer the newer stock of the legume, but arrivals are yet to begin in full swing. Arrivals of tur crop in Karnataka are slightly delayed, and with reports of crop losses, the state government is likely to procure the crop at a bonus of INR 400 per 100 kg, over and above the minimum support price of INR 8,000 per 100 kg, the India Pulses and Grains Association said.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, rose by INR 50 from the previous day to INR 7,200-INR 7,300 per 100 kg, according to the association.

 

URAD prices at Chandausi in Uttar Pradesh rose by INR 100 from Tuesday to INR 6,600 per 100 kg, traders said. Urad prices were steady in Jaipur, Rajasthan, at INR 6,600-INR 7,500 per 100 kg. Prices rose in some markets, tracking the rise in prices of Myanmar and Brazilian imports, traders said.

 

Prices of urad are likely to remain range-bound in the near term due to comfortable supplies. Myanmar's old stocks, along with the upcoming new crop — which is estimated at 1.0–1.1 million tonnes — will keep overall supply steady, the association said in its weekly report Monday. This is likely to prevent any major upward movement in prices. The market also does not expect a major rally or strong demand in spot markets for now, it said.  End
