Gram, its dal remains weak on sluggish demand

In an otherwise steady wholesale grains market today, gram and its dal prices declined further by Rs 25 per quintal in the wholesale pulses market today owing to sluggish demand.

On the other side, other pulses continued to trade in a tight range in the absence of worthwhile activity and settled around previous closing.

Marketmen said subdued demand against sufficient stocks position mainly kept pressure in gram and its dal prices.

Gram and its dal local variety remained weak and lost another Rs 25 each to Rs 2,225-2,250 and Rs 2,475-2,500 per quintal.
