Urad – Market Trend 2025
★ During 2025, prices in the domestic urad markets remained within a narrow range, with no major volatility seen through the year. Prices started the year on a relatively firm note in January; however, during February–March, increased imports put mild pressure on the market. In April–May, prices remained largely stable as supply and demand stayed balanced.
★ During June–July, improvement in domestic consumption and a decline in available stocks supported a marginal strengthening in urad prices. However, cautious buying and fresh arrivals during August–September led to some softness in the market. From October to December, prices again moved in a stable to slightly firm trend.

Outlook for 2026
★ Among pulses, urad was the only crop whose imports increased during the April–October period compared to the previous year. In the current season, kharif urad production in India declined, while production increased in overseas markets.
★ The urad market remains highly dependent on international supplies. In Myanmar, farmers shifted acreage away from urad toward moong, as moong prices stayed at elevated levels throughout the year.
★ Considering these factors, urad prices are expected to remain firm, with a positive bias and potential upside in the coming period.
