Select pulses dip on low demand

Select pulses led by kabuli gram and gram plunged by up to Rs 500 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market today owing to slackened demand from retailers against adequate stocks position.

Traders said muted demand from retailers against sufficient stocks position on increased supplies from producing belts mainly pulled down kabuli, gram and other pulses prices.

Weak enquiries from dal mills too weighed on prices, they added.
