Moderate arrivals are coming from Maharashtra and M.P but supplies from Rajasthan are increasing day by day. However, there are some concerns over loss of acreage in M.P and crop damage concerns amid unseasonal rainfall.

Chana is likely to trade in range with weak bias on expected profit booking amid higher arrivals expected from Rajasthan. Festive demand could limit the downside movement.
