Moong, its dal decline on sluggish demand

In an otherwise steady wholesale pulses market, moong and its dal prices fell up to Rs 200 per quintal on slack demand against adequate supply.

Traders said subdued demand against adequate stocks, which led to a fall in wholesale moong and its dal prices.
