Prices of urad and its dal firmed up by Rs 200 per quintal at the wholesale market today following fresh buying by stockists to meet rising demand from local parties against tight supplies from producing belts.
Moth, however, lacked necessary buying support and eased.
Traders said emergence of buying by stockists on the back of a rise in demand from retailers against restricted supplies from producing regions, mainly led to recovery in urad and its dal prices.
