Tur prices fall for the second consecutive day due to stockist profit-booking and weak demand

Tur prices in the domestic market recorded a decline for the second straight day today, driven by increased selling—as stockists booked profits at elevated price levels—and continued weak buying interest. Demand for Tur dal has slackened at these high prices, causing pulse millers to halt purchases, which has kept prices under pressure.

Prices of imported Arhar

Prices for 'Lemon' Arhar (for October-November shipment) dropped by $10 per tonne to $1,015 per tonne (C&F). This decline in international market prices has also influenced sentiment in the domestic market.

Market Outlook

Currently, the market remains under pressure due to weak demand for Tur dal at high prices and profit-booking by stockists. Prices could soften further if buying by pulse mills does not improve. However, the future direction of the market will depend on the prices of imported Tur (pigeon pea), domestic demand, and buying by pulse mills.
