Lobia weakens on sluggish demand

Lobia prices drifted lower by Rs 200 per quintal in an otherwise steady wholesale pulses market today due to subdued demand.

However, other pulses moved in a narrow range in scattered deals and settled around the overnight levels.

Traders said muted demand against sufficient stocks position mainly weighed on the lobia prices.

In the national capital, lobia fell by Rs 200 to Rs 3,800-4,000 per quintal.
