Select pulses moved up by Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale market today due to increased demand from stockists and retailers.

However, moong eased due to subdued demand at prevailing higher levels.

Marketmen said besides increased demand from stockists and retailers, restricted arrivals from producing regions mainly led to the rise in select pulses.

In the national capital, arhar and its dal dara variety rose by Rs 100 each to Rs 4,200-4,350 and Rs 5,500-6,800 per quintal, respectively.

Malka local and best quality were also seen in demand and traded higher by the same margin to Rs 5,700-6,000 and Rs 5,900-6,000 per quintal, respectively.
 

However, moong and its dal chilka local lacked necessary follow up support at prevailing levels and eased to Rs 5,500-6,800 and Rs 6,750-7,250 against last close of Rs 5,850-7,150 and Rs 6,950-7,450 per quintal, respectively.
