Chana prices moved 2.81 per cent higher to Rs 4,060 per quintal in futures trade today as participants raised bets on account of increased demand from dal mills in spot markets.
Besides, tight stocks position following a drop in arrivals from producing regions also fuelled the uptrend.

Similarly, the commodity for delivery in March edged Rs 47, or 1.24 per cent, higher to Rs 3,841 per quintal in 77,370 lots.
