Chana prices gained Rs 25 on good buying support in the physical market, particularly from the millers on Friday. Rise in chana and other pulse seeds has also been attributed to comparatively weak arrival of pulse seeds in the last few days because of closure of various mandis across Madhya Pradesh.

Chana (desi) also gained Rs 10 at Rs 2,250 a quintal, while chana (mausmi) ruled firm at Rs 2,300-2,400 a quintal. Arrival of chana in local mandis was recorded at 5,000 bags.

Rise in chana also perked up chana dal by Rs 25 with chana dal (bold) in the spot quoting at Rs 2,950-3,000 a quintal, while chana dal (medium) quoted at Rs 2,825-2,850 and chana dal (average) quoted at Rs 2,700-2,750 a quintal.

Dollar chana or chickpea gained Rs 150-200 on increased domestic demand. On the spot, it was quoted at Rs 4,800-5,000 a quintal. Arrival of dollar chana in local mandis on Friday improved sharply at about 8000 bags.
