Gram prices fell by Rs 20 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market today due to increased arrivals from growing belts.
Activity in other pulses, however, remained restricted and closed at previous levels.
Marketmen attributed the fall in gram and its dal prices to increased supplies from growing belts against sluggish demand from dal mills.
In the national capital, gram prices fell by Rs 20 to Rs 4,630-5,380 per quintal. Its dal (local) also fell by a similar margin to Rs 4,980-5180 per quintal.
