Arhar and its dal prices moved up by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market today on selective buying by retailers against limited arrivals from producing belts.
However, urad and its dal met with resistance at existing levels and ended lower.
Marketmen said selective buying by retailers amid restricted arrivals from producing regions mainly led to the rise in arhar and its dal prices.
In the national capital, arhar and its dal dara variety were up by Rs 100 each to Rs 4,750-4,950 and Rs 6,050-6,350 per quintal, respectively.
On the other hand, urad eased to Rs 5,850-6,600 against last close of Rs 6,050-6,750 per quintal. Urad dal chilka local and best quality traded lower by Rs 150 each to Rs 7,300-7,500 and Rs 7,500-8,100, while urad dal dhoya lost Rs 100 at Rs 7,900-8,300 per quintal, respectively.
