Gram, its dal rise on selective buying

Gram and its dal prices rose by Rs 50 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market today on selective buying by retailers and stockists.

However, other pulses moved in a tight range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.

Marketmen said selective buying by retailers and stockists against restricted arrivals from producing belts mainly led to a rise in gram and its dal prices.

In the national capital, gram rose by Rs 50 to Rs 2,900-3,800 per quintal. Its dal local and best quality were up the same margin to Rs 3,550-3,750 and Rs 3,650-3,950 per quintal, respectively.
