Prices of select pulses drifted by up to Rs 300 per quintal at the wholesale pulses market owing to slackened demand from retailers against adequate stocks.
Marketmen said sluggish demand from retailers at prevailing levels against sufficient stocks on higher supplies from producing regions mainly kept pressure on select pulses.
In the national capital, arhar traded lower by Rs 100 at Rs 7,900 per quintal, while its dal dara variety eased to Rs 10,800-12,500 against last close of Rs 10,800-12,800 per quintal respectively.
