At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, chilli teja for delivery in October plunged by Rs 626, or 5.29 per cent to Rs 11,198 per quintal with an open interest of 125 lots.
Similarly, the spice for delivery in September contracts plunged by Rs 358 or 3.46 per cent to Rs 9,994 per quintal in 550 lots.
