MUMBAI – Prices of chana and moong were steady Monday while prices of tur showed a mixed trend in key spot markets of the country, traders said. Prices of chana were steady amid some need-based demand from millers and traders, they said. Prices of tur fell in some markets and remained unchanged in others as demand and supply rose at the same pace, they said. Prices of moong were flat due to lack of fresh cues, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,650-INR 5,700 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices are unchanged amid limited demand, as millers and traders are only making need-based purchases, he said. Ongoing imports of chana from Australia, which are cheaper than the domestic variety, is keeping supply comfortable, he said. Prices are likely to fall by INR 100-INR 150 per 100 kg in the near term as more shipments of Australian chana are expected to arrive in India before the year ends, he said.

 

The Nov-Dec shipments of chana from Australia began coming into Indian ports on Nov. 13, data from the India Pulses and Grains Association showed. Since then, the country has received 181,031 tonnes of chana from Australia across major ports such as Mundra and Kandla, the data showed. 

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,600 per 100 kg, traders.

 

Prices of old TUR in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,200-INR 6,950 per 100 kg and prices of the new kharif tur were also unchanged at INR 50 to INR 6,800-INR 7,550 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. Five to six trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg each of old tur stocks and 65–66 trucks of the freshly harvested tur arrived in the market. Prices are steady as demand for the legume is on par with supply, he said. Though arrivals of the freshly harvested kharif crop increased on Monday, demand from millers and traders looking to stock up on the new crop matched the rise, keeping prices steady, he said. 

 

Arrivals of the new crop are likely to begin rising further from next week, Sanklecha said. New tur arrivals in Karnataka and Maharashtra are expected to be in full swing from the first week of January, he said. However, Sanklecha does not expect prices to come under pressure from the rise in arrivals as farmers are likely to resist lower prices, he said. Prices across the country are already below the minimum support price of INR 8,000 per 100 kg, he said. "If there is any pressure on prices ahead, it is likely to be because of a rise in imports, and not domestic arrivals," he said.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 100 from Friday to INR 7,400-INR 7,500 per 100 kg, according to the 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 6,800 per 100 kg. Moong prices are steady due to lack of fresh cues, Sanklecha said while adding that he expects prices to stay range-bound in the near term even as kharif arrivals are slowing down, he said.  End
