Pulses and pulse seeds continue to trade lower in Indore mandis on sluggish demand both from the millers and retailers. Traders however, attribute sluggishness in pulses to speculators who for no rhyme and reasons, cause decline or hike pulse prices at their own accord, thereby causing crisis for the common traders.

As a result of this, both pulses and pulse seeds witnessed a boil with prices of majority of pulse seeds registering a hike of Rs 200-Rs 7000 per quintal. With rise in demand and apprehending further rise in pulses, both the stockists and the millers had gone on buying spree and increased their stocks of pulses and pulse seeds. However, after some days, the demand for pulse seeds and pulses decline at higher rate, thereby causing sluggishness in the market.
