Urad and its dal rise on retailers demand

Urad and its dal prices rose by Rs 100 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale pulses market today on retailers demand.

Marketmen said pick up in retailers demand against restricted supplies mainly led to a rise in wholesale urad and its dal prices.

Meanwhile, public sector enterprise PEC has invited bids for the sale and e-auction of 400 tonnes of green moong and urad pulses.

Urad and its dal chika local gained Rs 100 each to Rs 5,400-5,950 and Rs 6,400-6,800, while best quality and dhoya traded higher by the same margin at Rs 7,300-7,600 and Rs 7,300-7,400 per quintal.
