Mumbai, Nov 12 Chana prices remained range-bound in spot as well as futures market towards the end of the festive season pressured by mounting arrivals as well imports.

Demand from millers and crushers was subdued, said a trader. Arrivals at Bikaner were around 150 bags. Crop sowing in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra was in progress and arrivals from imports had also been entering in the market, he said.

Arrivals were pressurising prices. Spot prices of chana were quoted marginally lower at Rs 2,323.75/quintal.

Chana prices are likely to trade sideways as the government has been importing alternative peas through local PSUs, according to analyst. On the demand front, there migh be an increase from millers and stockist that was likely to support prices, he added.
