MUMBAI – Prices of pulses were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana and masur were unchanged amid tepid market activity, they said. Prices of tur were flat as demand for the legume matched its supply, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,650-INR 5,700 per 100 kg, said Raja Jain, a local trader. Prices were unchanged due to low market activity as many participants stayed away due to Paush Amavasya, he said. Prices are likely to remain range-bound in the near term as overall demand for chana is sluggish, he said. Any rise in domestic prices is likely to be prevented by the ongoing imports of chana from Australia, which are cheaper than the domestic variety, he said. The movement of prices in the medium term is likely to depend on the final acreage and estimated output of chana in the ongoing rabi season, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,575-INR 5,600 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Akola, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,925-INR 6,950 per 100 kg, said Ashok Gupta, a local trader. Prices have stabilised after the recent price correction, he said. Prices had corrected by INR 100-INR 200 per 100 kg across markets this week following a surge in prices last week, he said. Prices are likely to remain range-bound in the near term as low demand for the legume is likely to stay on a par with the low supply of the old stocks of tur in the market, he said. 

 

In Maharashtra, arrivals of the new tur crop will only begin post Jan. 15, Gupta said. The only region in Maharashtra which has begun to receive new crop arrivals is Solapur. With its proximity to Karnataka, the Solapur market is receiving fresh crop arrivals from the southern state. Arrivals of the freshly harvested crop in Karnataka are also expected to increase in January, 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.

 

MASUR prices in Indore were steady at INR 5,800-INR 5,850 per 100 kg, Jain said. Prices are flat amid low market activity as most shops are shut, he said. Prices are likely to remain largely unchanged till arrivals of the new rabi masur crop begins, he said. 

 

Prices of the moti variety of masur in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,700–INR 6,000 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices of the choti variety in Lalitpur were also steady at INR 7,000–INR 8,000 per 100 kg.  End
