The wholesale pulses market ended on a mixed note at the wholesale pulses market today as select pulses recorded significant rise on strong demand, while a few others remained steady on adequate stocks position.
Marketmen said pick up in demand from retailers amid restricted supplies from producing regions mainly led to rise in prices of select pulses.
Meanwhile, to boost availability and check rising prices, state-run Kendriya Bhandar will start selling imported tur dal at its 100 locations here from October 15, while sale of the commodity at Mother Dairy's 300 Safal outlets will begin from this weekend.
State-owned MMTC has floated a fresh tender for import of 2,000 tonnes of tur dal, to be delivered by next month, to further improve supply of pulses in the country.
