NEW DELHI – Prices of tur rose in key spot markets in the country Thursday, while those of chana and masur remained steady, traders said. Tur prices rose on a fall in arrivals of the new rabi crop, they said. 

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,850-INR 5,900 per 100 kilograms, said Dinesh Mangal, a local trader. Prices were steady as demand matched supply, he said. Amid a seasonal low in demand, millers are only making need-based purchases, he said. Prices have been fluctuating in a narrow range by INR 50-INR 100 per 100 kg for a few weeks, he said.

 

Prices of chana are expected to remain range-bound till the arrival of the new rabi crop begins, Mangal said. New arrivals in Madhya Pradesh will begin in the first week of March, he said. Though there will be some arrival pressure, prices are unlikely to fall sharply, he said. "The price trend will depend on the quality of the new chana," he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi were also steady at INR 5,900-INR 5,925 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

Prices of new TUR in Solapur, Maharashtra, rose by INR 200 from Wednesday to INR 7,500-INR 8,700 per 100 kg, said Rahul Srinivas, a local trader. Prices of old tur also increased by INR 200 to INR 7,200-INR 8,200 per 100 kg. Around 45-50 trucks carrying 20,000-25,000 kg each of the new tur crop and three to four trucks with old tur arrived in the market, he said.

 

Prices rose as arrivals of the new kharif tur crop fell, Srinivas said. Though arrivals from Vidarbha, a key tur-producing region in Maharashtra, have begun, it is still lower than expected, he said. "The market can't determine a level (of prices) because we still don't have a grasp on the overall supply of the new crop," he said. 

 

Tur prices have recorded sizable fluctuations in the past two weeks, surging to INR 9,000 per 100 kg, then correcting sharply, only to rise by INR 100-200 per 100 kg again. Srinivas expects prices to correct till they settle at the INR 8,000-INR 8,500 per 100 kg range, he said.

 

Tur prices in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, remained steady at INR 8,400-INR 8,500 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

MASUR prices in Indore were steady at INR 5,700-INR 5,750 per 100 kg, Mangal said. Prices are steady in the absence of fresh cues, he said. Prices are likely to remain unchanged till the arrival of the new rabi masur crop begins, he said. The market expects the government to begin procuring the crop, as prices are below the minimum support price of INR 7,000 per 100 kg for an extended period, he said.

 

The prices of the moti variety of masur in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, remained steady at INR 5,300-INR 5,850 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices of the choti variety in Lalitpur also remained steady at INR 6,000-INR 7,200 per 100 kg. End
