State-run trading firm MMTC has invited tenders for the sale of 2,000 tonnes of pulses in the domestic market.
Bids will close on May 20 and a decision on awarding the tender will be taken on the same day, MMTC said on its website.
The company said that it would sell 2,000 tonnes of red lentils and the offer should be for a minimum lot of 50 tonnes and in multiples of 50 tonnes thereafter.
The offered pulses are of the crop year 2009 and have been sourced from Canada/Australia. At present, the pulses are stored at a godown in Kolkata, it said.
PEC, MMTC and other state-run trading agencies like STC import different varieties of pulses on behalf of the government to augment domestic supply.
