Gram, its dal decline on muted demand

Gram and its dal prices declined by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market today owing to slackened demand against ample stocks position.

However, rajmah chitra traded higher on uptick in demand from retailers.

Traders said besides fall in demand from retailers, sufficient stocks on improved supplies mainly kept pressure on gram and its dal prices.
