Prices of select pulses, led by arhar, rose up to Rs 300 per quintal at the wholesale market in the national capital today owing to increased demand against tight supplies from producing belts.
Marketmen said increased demand in the face of tight supplies from producing belts mainly led to the rise in arhar and other pulse prices.
Besides lower output this marketing year due to unseasonal rains in key growing regions also influenced the sentiment, they said.
