Pistachio prices rose by Rs 10 per kg today largely on the back of fresh buying support from retailers and stockists driven by domestic demand. 

Restricted supplies from overseas markets also supported the upside in prices.

Pistachio hairati and peshwari rose by Rs 10 each to conclude at Rs 1,000-1,050 and Rs 1,225-1,275 per kg, respectively. 

Market analysts said increased demand from retailers and stockists against fall in supplies from overseas markets mainly pushed up pistachio prices on the wholesale dry fruit market here.
