News Capsule: Pulses Market Review – 9 April 2026
★ The pulses market showed a mixed trend today. Chana witnessed slight strength, tur remained weak, and masur stayed stable. Prices in key markets were as follows:
Chana prices:
★ Latur: ₹5,400–5,550 per quintal (+₹50)
★ Delhi/Jaipur line: ₹5,550 per quintal
★ Chana prices increased slightly due to need-based buying from millers and traders. However, continuous arrivals of the rabi crop and higher production this year are likely to limit any major upside. Government procurement is quality-focused, prompting farmers to sell more in the open market, thereby keeping prices in check.
~~~~~~~
Tur (Arhar) prices:
★ Solapur (new crop): ₹7,400–8,000 per quintal (-₹100)
★ Solapur (old crop): ₹7,200–7,350 per quintal (-₹100)
★ Tilkot (Karnataka): ₹7,771 per quintal (-₹120)
★ Tur prices remained under pressure due to weak demand and ample supply. Arrivals from Karnataka and Maharashtra continue to be strong. Earlier expectations of significant crop damage did not fully materialize, resulting in better-than-expected supply in the market.
~~~~~~
Masur prices:
★ Indore: ₹5,650 per quintal (steady)
★ Lalitpur (moti): ₹6,100–6,150 per quintal (-₹150)
★ Lalitpur (choti): ₹7,800–8,200 per quintal (steady)
★ Masur prices remained stable as demand and supply were balanced. However, there is potential for an upward trend in the near term due to possible disruptions in imports from Canada amid tensions in West Asia. Rising shipping and energy costs may also support prices.
★ Chana is expected to trade in a range, tur may remain weak in the near term, while masur shows signs of a possible price increase ahead.
