Pulses continue to rule flat in Indore mandis on slack demand, while downtrend witnessed in tur with its prices witnessing a further dip on decline in demand even at the lower rate. According to a pulse trader Mr Bimal Jain, it has been after a long time that sluggishness in pulses has extended to such a long time.
Absence of demand in pulses and pulse seeds seems to be intriguing for the traders as they have not been able to ascertain the reasons as to why the traders are keeping themselves away from the market. According to another pulse trader, market is witnessing subdued trading as the millers and stockists are showing reluctance in stocking up pulses and pulse seeds.
Millers are trading in pulses only based on their requirements, he added. On Tuesday with further dip in demand, tur and its dal declined by Rs 50 and Rs 100 respectively.
