Rally continued in tur and other pulses with demand outstripping arrivals. The Government’s move to rein in spiralling prices of tur and other pulses appears to have fizzled out as reduced availability of both domestic and imported tur has lifted its prices in the past one week by about ₹1,300-₹1,500 a quintal.
On Wednesday, tur (Maharashtra) in local mandis rose to ₹11,300 (₹9,800-₹10,000 last week) a quintal. Tur (Madhya Pradesh) rose to ₹9,500 (up ₹1,000 from last week).
Traders said rally in tur may end once new crop arrivals hit local mandis next month. Moong and urad also traded higher on weak availability. Moong (bold) was quoted at ₹8,000 (up ₹200 from last week), while moong (medium) ruled at ₹6,500-₹7,000.
