Urad and its dal prices declined by Rs 100 per quintal owing to reduced offtake from retailers in the wholesale pulses market today.
Meanwhile, other pulses moved in a tight range on scattered buying or selling and settled around previous levels.
Marketmen said fall in demand at existing higher levels, against adequate positions mainly led to a decline in urad and its dal prices.
Urad and its dal chilka local declined by Rs 100 each to Rs 5,700-6,250 and Rs 6,100-6,500, while best quality and dhoya traded lower by the same margin at Rs 6,900-7,200 and Rs 7,000-7,100 per quintal.
