Red chilli and turmeric prices fell by up to Rs 200 per quintal in the national capital today due to subdued demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks.
Also, weak futures market trends and increased arrivals from producing belts also put pressure on the prices.
Red chilli and turmeric prices declined by up to Rs 200 to settle at Rs 9,000-13,000 and Rs 10,500-15,500 per quintal, respectively.
Market analysts said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks mainly led to the fall in chilli and turmeric prices in the wholesale kirana market here.
