Urad, its dal turn weak on subdued demand

Urad and its dal prices declined by Rs 100 per quintal owing to reduced offtake from retailers in the wholesale pulses market today.

Meanwhile, other pulses moved in a tight range on scattered buying or selling and settled around previous levels.  

Marketmen said fall in demand at existing higher levels, against adequate positions mainly led to a decline in urad and its dal prices.

Urad and its dal chilka local declined by Rs 100 each to Rs 5,700-6,250 and Rs 6,100-6,500, while best quality and dhoya traded lower by the same margin at Rs 6,900-7,200 and Rs 7,000-7,100 per quintal.
