Chana prices dropped by 1.18 per cent to Rs 4,343 per quintal in futures trade Tuesday after traders reduced their positions amid fall in demand at spot markets against sufficient stock position.

In futures trading at the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, chana for delivery in March was trading lower by Rs 52, or 1.18 per cent, at Rs 4,343 per quintal with an open interest of 150 lots.
