Despite government measures, the prices of arhar and malka rose up to Rs 300 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market today on mild demand from retailers.
However, other pulses moved in a narrow range in limited deals and settled at last levels.
Traders said rising demand from retailers mainly attributed rise in arhar and malka prices.
They said even government's measure including increased imports and decision to sell seized pulses in the markets, failed to curb rising prices.
In the national capital, arhar rose by Rs 300 to Rs 10,800, while its dal dara variety remained steady at Rs 12,000-15,000 per quintal, respectively.
Malka local and best quality also edged up by Rs 100 each to Rs 6,600-6,900 and Rs 6,700-7,100 per quintal, respectively.
