Uptrend in Gram Market; Prices Supported by Strong Demand

09-Sep-2026 05:40 PM

Gram prices in the domestic market trended upwards today due to subdued selling pressure and sustained demand. The market is gaining strength as gram availability remains limited amidst rising demand.

Additionally, market sentiment has received a boost from NAFED placing bids at higher rates. Given the strong demand and limited supply, there is potential for gram prices to rise by approximately ₹100–150 per quintal from current levels in the coming days.

However, the pace of this upward movement will depend on future demand, market arrivals, and the extent of selling at higher price points. NAFED's high bidding is establishing a strong price floor in the market.

This is likely to restrict selling by farmers and stockists, while sustained inquiries and demand from pulse millers could provide further market support. Driven by strong demand, gram prices in Delhi rose by ₹75 per quintal today.

With this increase, prices for the Madhya Pradesh variety reached ₹6,575–6,600 per quintal, and the Rajasthan variety reached ₹6,650–6,675 per quintal. Overall, the outlook for the gram market remains positive for now, supported by rising demand, limited availability, and NAFED's strong bidding. A gradual rise in prices is anticipated in the near future.
