Masoor, its dal slide on muted demand; arhar recover

Masoor and its dal prices drifted up to Rs 200 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market today on easing demand from retailers against adequate stocks.
However, arhar recovered on scattered enquiries.
Marketmens said subdued demand from retailers at prevailing levels against ample stocks position on higher supplies from producing belts mainly led to decline in masoor and its dal prices.
Meanwhile, to ensure that prices of pulses do not flare up any further, central security agencies including Intelligence Bureau and Directorate of Revenue Intelligence have been asked to keep a close watch on tur, urad and gram traders to check speculation and hoarding.

In the national capital, masoor small and bold slipped to Rs 4,750-5,000 and Rs 4,800-5,050 from previous levels of Rs 4,700-5,100 and Rs 4,950-5,250 per quintal, respectively. Its dal local and best quality followed suit and lost Rs 200 each at Rs 5,500-6,000 and Rs 5,600-6,100 per quintal, respectively.
On the other hand, arhar recovered by Rs 200 to Rs 8,000 per quintal.
