Kolkata, March 10 Last week, the CTC markets at North Indian auctions witnessed good demand with selected blacker and liquoring teas selling at fully firm to dearer rates, according to J Thomas & Company Pvt Limited, the tea auctioneers. The orthodox varieties, largely of end-season quality, eased irregularly in value, with good support from CIS and the West Asia.

Better Darjeeling varieties saw good inquiry at slightly lower levels. Liquoring brokens appreciated following good local support.

A few new season CTC received attractive prices during the week, with Assam selling up to Rs 221 per kg and Dooars up to Rs 201 per kg.
