MUMBAI – Prices of tur rose Wednesday, while those of urad were steady in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Chana prices showed mixed trends, they added. Tur prices rose tracking a rise in prices of imports from Myanmar amid reports of crop damage and losses there, traders said. Prices of chana rose in some markets, while they were steady in others as demand for the legume matched the pace of its new arrivals, they said. Urad prices were unchanged due to the absence of fresh cues, they said. 

 

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,600-INR 5,650 per 100 kg, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices were steady as demand for the legume matched its supply, he said. The new rabi crop arrivals have begun in Madhya Pradesh, he said. Though some of the new arrivals have a higher moisture content than what is ideal, there are buyers for the better quality arrivals, which is keeping prices steady, Kakani said.

 

Prices are expected to fall in the near term as arrivals of the new crop are expected to increase, the trader said. However, a steep fall is unlikely as prices are already in the lower range, he added. Demand from stockists is expected to pick up in a few weeks, which will keep prices from falling further, he said.

 

Prices of chana in Delhi rose by INR 25 from the previous day to INR 5,725-INR 5,750 per 100 kg, traders said.

 

TUR prices in Akola, Maharashtra, rose INR 100 from Tuesday to INR 8,400-INR 8,425 per 100 kg, said Ankit Kedia, a local trader. Prices rose due to a rise in prices of imports from Myanmar, he said. The quality of the new tur crop is reportedly damaged, which raised concerns about supply disruptions, supporting prices of imported tur, he said. However, this is unlikely to have a lasting effect on domestic tur prices as local arrivals are still ongoing in full swing, he said.

 

Prices are likely to fall in the near term as robust arrivals from Maharashtra continue, Kedia said. However, a steep fall is unlikely as arrivals of the legume from Karnataka are decreasing, Kedia said. Prices are not expected to fall below the minimum support level of INR 8,000 per 100 kg, he said. "Stockists, who were earlier scared off by the climb in prices to the INR 9,000 per 100 kg level, are expected to begin their bulk purchases soon as prices have now cooled off," he said. This is also likely to support prices in the medium term, he said.

 

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, rose INR 100 from the previous day to INR 8,600-INR 8,700 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

 

URAD prices in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, were steady at INR 5,000-INR 7,800 per 100 kg, traders said. Prices of urad in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were steady at INR 7,800-INR 8,800 per 100 kg. Prices were steady due to the absence of cues, they said.

 

Urad prices could remain range-bound amid low demand and limited supply, the association said in its weekly report Monday. However, shipments of the new urad crop from Myanmar are on the way to India, which is likely to prevent a rise in prices, the association said. Arrivals of the new rabi crop are also expected to begin by the end of February, which could ease supply tightness. In the medium term, price movement is likely to depend on the pace of new rabi crop arrivals and the prices of Myanmar imports, it said.  End
