Chana (Annagiri) was quoted at Rs 3,125 while chana (mausmi) was at Rs 3,350 a quintal.

Monsoon rain in parts of the State for the past few days and a decline in festival demand as traders have already completed purchases for the Ganesh Chaturthi festival also kept chana bearish.

Chana dal on the other hand ruled firm despite slack demand. In the spot market, chana dal (bold) ruled firm at Rs 3,925-3,950 a quintal, chana dal (medium) at Rs 3,825-3,850 and chana dal (average) at Rs 3,700-3,725 a quintal.

Dollar chana or chickpea ruled firm at Rs 8,000-8,400 a quintal on weak arrivals, with merely 500-600 bags being offloaded in local mandis. Demand in the domestic market continues to rise while it has declined in the export market.

Slack demand dragged down masoor that quoted at Rs 2,825-2,850 a quintal in the spot market, while masoor (medium) ruled at Rs 2,500. Masoor dal, however, ruled firm, with masoor dal (bold) ruling at Rs 3,475-3,500, masoor dal (medium) at Rs 3,375-3,400 and masoor dal (average) at Rs 3,300-3,325 a quintal.

Though tur (marka) remained stable at Rs 5,850-5,900, tur dal (bold) gained marginally at Rs 5,150-5,200 and tur dal (sawa no.) at Rs 4,150-4,200 a quintal.
