Rising for the third day, chana prices rose by 0.69% to Rs 4,796 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators enlarged positions, driven by lower output estimates in key growing regions.

Further, pick-up in demand in spot markets supported the upside.

At the National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange, chana for delivery in July month advanced by Rs 33, or 0.69% to Rs 4,796 per quintal with an open interest of 78,320 lots.
