Lobia slides on subdued demand

Lobia prices drifted lower by Rs 200 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale pulses market today owing to slackened demand against sufficient stocks position.
However, other pulses moved in a narrow range in scattered deals and pegged at the last levels.
Traders said easing demand from retailers against ample stocks position, mainly weighed on lobia prices.
In the national capital, lobia fell by Rs 200 to Rs 5,000-5,200 per quintal.
