Gram and its dal prices advanced by up to Rs 200 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market today on the back of rising demand from retailers against tight supplies from producing regions.
However, other pulses traded in a tight range on some enquiries and pegged around previous levels.
Traders said rising demand from retailers in the face of paucity of stocks due to restricted supplies from producing belts mainly kept gram and its dal prices higher.
In the national capital, gram gained another Rs 100 to Rs 5,900-6,400 per quintal. Its dal local and best quality followed suit and enquired higher by Rs 200 each to Rs 6,100-6,400 and Rs 6,550-6,650 per quintal, respectively.
Besign Shaktibhog and Rajdhani also quoted higher at Rs 2,700 instead of Rs 2,600 per 35 kg bag, respectively.
