MUMBAI – Prices of pulses were unchanged in key spot markets across the country, traders said. Chana prices are likely to rise from August due to a rise in demand during the festival season, they said. The movement in tur prices is likely to depend on the progress of kharif sowing, while moong prices could be supported due to prospects of lower acreage and subsequently lower kharif production this year, they said.

CHANA prices in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 6,025-INR 6,050 per 100 kilograms, said Kailash Kakani, a local trader. Prices remained unchanged amid limited demand, low arrivals, and the government's sales of its stocks, he said. Demand remains limited amid low consumption of chana dal, or processed chana, and besan, or chana flour, he said. While arrivals of the rabi crop have declined, the government has begun to offload its stocks of chana across states, fulfilling the need-based demand of millers and traders, he said.

Prices are likely to rise from August due to an increase in demand during the festive season, Kakani said. However, a steep rise in prices is unlikely due to the availability of the government's stocks, he said. "Prices will rise by only INR 100–INR 200 per 100 kg from August," he said.

Prices of chana in Delhi were unchanged at INR 5,900-INR 5,910 per 100 kg, traders said.

TUR prices in Solapur, Maharashtra, were steady at INR 7,400-INR 7,800 per 100 kg, said Mukesh Sanklecha, a local trader. Five to six trucks carrying INR 20,000-INR 25,000 kg of tur each arrived in the market, he said. Prices were steady as low demand was on a par with low supply, he said. Arrivals of the crop have declined as farmers are busy preparing their fields for kharif sowing, he said.

In the past two days, Solapur and other key tur-growing regions in Maharashtra recorded ample rainfall, Sanklecha said. "If good rainfall continues for the next two days, and then we get sunlight for a few days, farmers will finally begin sowing tur properly," he said. Tur sowing is yet to begin in full swing in the state as farmers are waiting for soil moisture and reservoirs to replenish, he said. Prices are likely to rise if weather in the state remains unfavourable for the next few weeks, he said.

Prices of tur in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, were steady at INR 8,150-INR 8,250 per 100 kg, according to the India Pulses and Grains Association.

MOONG prices in Jaipur, Rajasthan, were steady at INR 6,400-INR 6,800 per 100 kg, according to the association. Prices were unchanged as demand and supply of moong were both low and matched, he said. Prices are likely to rise in the near term as sowing of kharif moong has been poor so far, he said. Unlike tur, which has a long sowing window which stretches to mid-July or even the end of July at times, the sowing window of moong is relatively shorter, he said. "By now, we should have been in the end stages of kharif moong sowing, but acreage so far has been poor," he said. As such, prices are likely to rise in the near term, he said.
