Similarly, the spice for delivery in current month declined by Rs 44, or 0.58 per cent, to end at Rs 7,550 per quintal in 9,265 lots.
Market analysts said, offloading of positions by traders on the back of easing demand in the physical markets against adequate stock position on increased supplies from producing regions, mainly weighed on turmeric prices at futures trade.
