At the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange, chana for delivery in July fell by Rs 29, or one%, to Rs 2,867 per quintal, with an open interest of 1,09,380 lots.
Similarly, the commodity for delivery in June declined by Rs 27, or 0.95%, to Rs 2,798 per quintal, with an open interest of 98,890 lots.
Traders said besides profit-booking by speculators, ample stocks following higher supplies against subdued demand in the spot markets, mainly led to the fall in chana prices at futures trade.
