Smooth supply of pulses due to domestic crop arrivals and imports from abroad

New Delhi. The price of pulses in the domestic sector has now stabilized to a great extent because on one hand, the new goods of Kharif season moong, moth and urad have started arriving and on the other hand, import of urad, tuvar, masoor, yellow peas and Desi gram is continuing in good quantities from countries like Myanmar, Africa, Australia, Russia and Canada. From next month, the harvesting and preparation of the new crop of Arhar (tuvar) is going to start in Karnataka, due to which its supply and availability will increase further.

After the end of the festive season, the demand for pulses in the domestic sector has come to normal levels, due to which the possibility of a sharp rise in its prices is diminishing. However, the season of Lagnasara and auspicious festivals is going to start in the next few days, in which the demand and consumption of pulses is expected to increase somewhat, but in view of the smooth supply situation, it seems difficult for prices to rise much.

Sowing of rabi season pulses crops and especially gram has started in some states and the overall area is expected to increase. This can have a positive psychological effect on the pulses market. In the coming time, there will not be a sharp fall in the prices of gram, tuvar and urad, but there is also little possibility of a huge rise in it. Duty free import of some pulses from abroad will continue at least till March 2025.
