MUMBAI – Prices of chana and tur fell Monday, while those of moong were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Prices of chana fell due to sluggish demand and ongoing imports from Australia, they said. Tur prices declined due to a rise in arrivals of the new crop from key producing regions in Maharashtra, they said. Prices of moong remained unchanged due to a lack of cues, they said.

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, fell INR 50 from Friday to INR 5,800-INR 5,850 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices fell due to sluggish demand even as arrivals in the market are already low, he said. "Prices are dependent on the need-based demand from millers and traders during a given day," he said. Currently, the market is only receiving some arrivals of the old stock. Prices were also weighed down by the ongoing imports of chana from Australia, which are cheaper and of better quality than the domestic variety, he said.

 

Prices are likely to stay range-bound in the near term as the rise in demand for the upcoming wedding season is likely to be offset by arrivals of the new rabi chana crop, Kakani said. Arrivals of the new crop, which are reportedly of good quality, are expected to begin arriving after mid-February, he said. 

 

Prices of chana in Delhi fell INR 25 from the previous session to INR 5,775-INR 5,800 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

Prices of new TUR in Solapur, Maharashtra, fell INR 150 from Friday to INR 6,700-INR 7,600 per 100 kg, while prices of old tur also fell INR 50 to INR 6,200-INR 6,800 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. Around 65–70 trucks carrying 20,000-25,000 kg of the new tur crop and four to five trucks with old tur arrived in the market, he said.

 

Prices fell as the new kharif crop began to arrive from the Marathwada and Vidarbha regions in Maharashtra, which are the key tur-producing regions in the state, Sanklecha said. "Arrivals from Vidarbha are of medium-to-good quality, but currently demand is also down, so prices fell," he said. Prices are likely to stay under pressure in the short term as arrivals are likely to rise further and stockists are expected to stay inactive for the rest of the month, he said. "Stockists are only likely to begin buying when prices fall a bit more," he said.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, fell INR 50 from the previous week to INR 7,800-7,900 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

MOONG prices in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, were steady at INR 6,500-INR 7,000 per 100 kg, the association said. Prices of moong in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were also steady at INR 6,500-INR 6,800 per 100 kg. Prices are steady as demand for the legume is on par with its supply, Sanklecha said. Prices are likely to rise in the near term as arrivals of the new rabi crop will begin decreasing from February. Moong is among the first crop sown during the summer crop season, which is likely to begin in February as well, he said.  End
