Malka rises on retailers demand

Barring a rise in malka prices on the back of pick up in retailers demand, other pulses held steady at the wholesale market today.
Traders said besides pick up in demand from retailers, restricted supplies from producing regions mainly led to the rise in malka prices.
Meanwhile, over 51,000 tonnes of pulses, out of 1.3 lakh tonnes seized during the raids, have been offloaded in the market so far as a part of the government's steps to boost domestic availability and control prices.
Prices of select pulses had crossed Rs 200 per kg in the retail market due to a fall in production by two million tonnes in 2014-15 crop year (July-June).

In the national capital, malka local and best quality were up Rs 200 each to Rs 7,000-7,300 and Rs 7,100-7,500 per quintal, respectively.
