New Delhi. The gram market is also showing a bullish trend this week. Prices are continuously increasing due to limited arrival of gram in the major producing markets of the country. On the other hand, the stock of imported gram available at the port is also in a weak condition, due to which there is pressure on supply in the market. New gram from Australia is expected to come to the market from the month of October, before which the market is not expected to get any major relief from imports. Apart from this, gram prices are getting additional support in view of the festive season demand in the country like Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami and Ganesh Chaturthi. Prices may see further strength due to shortage of stock and increasing demand. Due to better buying by dal millers, prices of Delhi gram registered a rise of Rs. 175 per quintal this week and with this rise, the prices became Madhya Pradesh line Rs. 6300/6325 and Rajasthan line Rs. 6350/6375 per quintal at the end of the week.
