Select pulses remain weak as supply improves

Select pulses fell further by up to Rs 200 per quintal at the wholesale market today following adequate stocks position against easing demand at prevailing levels.
Marketmen said besides improved supplies from producing regions after the government's measures to check rising prices, sluggish demand at current levels mainly kept pressure on select pulses prices.
Meanwhile, with prices of pulses spiralling again on supply crunch, the centre has asked the states to impose stock holding limits for traders on all varieties of pulses in order to curb hoarding.
