In the last week, tur prices have almost declined by ₹200 with prices in Maharashtra) on Wednesday being quoted at ₹5,250 a quintal, while in Madhya Pradesh prices declined to ₹4,600-4,800.

According to traders, notwithstanding current decline in prices, sluggish trend in tur appears unlikely in the coming days, given expected rise in demand during the festival and dependency on imported tur. Delay in arrival of new tur this year due to late sowing will also lend strength to bullish trend in tur, said Hanuman Jain, a local pulse trader.
