Nagpur: After the government banned imports of urad and moong, rates of the two pulses have gone up by Rs1000 and Rs350 a quintal respectively in the bulk market.
In lines of tur, which is the commonly consumed type of pulses throughout the country, a similar move was taken for moong and urad last week. Tur rates were increased by Rs150 a quintal, during the week.
According to analysis compiled by the Itwari Grain and Seeds Merchants Association, a ripple effect of the ban on imports was also seen in other types of pulses.
Following the import ban, prices of moong dal are at Rs80 a kg for the best quality. "The lowest grade is available at Rs56 in the wholesale market. A margin of Rs5 to Rs10 is added in the retail stores. Urad dal rates have now crossed Rs100 a kg in the wholesale market itself. The cheaper grades of urad dal are also in the range of Rs75 to Rs80 a kg," said Pratap Motwani of the Itwari Grain and Seeds Merchants Association.
Motwai said the rates of Chana too are moving up. The import ban has not been imposed on this commodity. "However, a major reduction in yield at Australia, which is one of the main centres of import, has increased the rates at home. Chana Dal, which is the processed form, is now at Rs90 a kg. Tur dal is priced at Rs65 a kg, in the wholesale market," he said.
