Prices of select pulses shot up at the wholesale market here today, largely due to fall in supplies against rising demand.
However, a few others drifted owing to lack of buying support against adequate stocks.
Marketmen said besides pick up in demand from retailers, fall in supplies from producing belts mainly led to the rise in select prices.
Besides, expectations of lower output this year due to unseasonal rains in key growing regions also supported the uptrend, they said.
