Urad, arhar recover on rising demand

Prices of urad and arhar recovered by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market today on pick-up in demand from retailers amid restricted supplies from producing belts.
However, masoor met with resistance and shed some ground.
Traders said besides the pick-up in demand, restricted supplies from producing regions mainly led to rise in urad and arhar prices.
Meanwhile, the first tranche of 1,792 tonnes of imported tur dal arrived last week, the first import of pulses by the government in about last four years, which will help boost domestic supplies and check rising retail prices.
The first consignment of urad dal will reach the country by October 20.
