MUMBAI - Prices of chana and tur showed mixed trend, while those of moong were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana were steady in some markets while they fell in others amid sluggish demand and ample availability, they said. Prices of old crop tur were steady while those of new fell due to a rise in arrivals, they said. Prices of moong were unchanged as weak demand matched the low supply, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, fell by INR 25 from Friday to INR 5,600-INR 5,650 per 100 kg, said Gaurav Kochar, a local trader. Prices were weighed down by dull demand amid heavy supply of the legume, he said. Private players are emptying their stocks of old chana in preparation to stock up on the new crop once it begins arriving early next year, he said. The ongoing imports of cheaper chana from Australia are also keeping supply plentiful, he added. 

 

Two shipments carrying 31,811 tonnes and 33,428 tonnes of Australian chana each are expected to arrive at Indian ports on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, data from the India Pulses and Grains Association showed. Shipments of chana from Australia are likely to keep arriving in the country till March, Kochar said. "Import deals for January, February, and March have already happened," he said. Arrivals of the new rabi domestic crop are also expected to begin in Karnataka and Maharashtra in February, he said. As such, prices of chana are unlikely to rise even in the medium term, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were steady at INR 5,525-INR 5,550 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

Prices of old TUR in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 6,200-INR 6,700 per 100 kg, while those of the new kharif tur fell by INR 50 to INR 6,800-INR 7,400 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. Four to five trucks with 20,000-25,000 kg each of old tur stocks and 60–65 trucks of the freshly harvested tur arrived in the market, he said. Prices of the new tur crop fell due to a rise in arrivals, he said.

 

Prices of tur are likely to be rangebound till mid-January, when arrivals of the freshly harvested kharif crop will begin from Maharashtra as well, Sanklecha said. Currently, arrivals of the new crop are only from Karnataka. Increasing arrivals are likely to put pressure on prices in the medium term, he said.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 7,150-INR 7,250 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 in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were also stable at INR 6,500-INR 6,800 per 100 kg. Moong prices are steady as low arrivals of the legume are on par with weak demand, Sanklecha said. Arrivals of the kharif crop have reduced significantly, he said. Millers currently hold ample stocks to meet processing needs, he added. Prices are likely to be largely steady in the near term, he said.  End
