Moong and its dal prices traded higher by up to Rs 100 per quintal in the wholesale pulses market today on pick-up in retailers demand against tight supply.
Elsewhere, other commodities continued to trade in a narrow range on restricted buying, and settled around previous levels.
Market analysts said pick-up in retailers demand against tight supply mainly led to the rise in moong and its dal prices.
