Govt extends duty-free imports of chickpea till March

Despite weak futures, increased demand from millers and slack arrival perked up chana in Indore mandis on Tuesday with chana (kanta) rising to Rs 3,050-3,100 a quintal (Rs 2,975-3,000), while chana (desi) ruled at Rs 2,700-2,800 , chana (mausmi) at Rs 3,000-3,300, chana (vishal) at Rs 2,700-2,800, while Kabuli Bitki ruled at Rs 2,700-2,900.
On account of heavy rains, demand for chana and other pulse seeds had drastically declined. However, with weather becoming clear over the past one week, demand has increased leading to sharp rise in prices, said Prakash Vora, a trader, adding that chana in the coming days may see a gain up to Rs 200 a quintal.
Chana dal (average) was at Rs 3,550-75, chana dal (medium) at Rs 3,650-75, chana dal (bold) is ruling at Rs 3,950-75.
