Spot Raw Tur Bilty And Mandi Prices In Key Indian Markets:
Despite rising Tur prices, Tur dal prices remained steady due to subdued demand at higher price points.
Spot Tur Dal Prices In Key Indian Markets:
The tur market is anticipated to remain range-bound in the near future due to a delicate balance of limited supply and subdued demand. This season's lower crop yields have constrained supply, while elevated prices have led consumers to seek more affordable substitutes. Consequently, mills are purchasing tur only to meet immediate needs. Additionally, the government's close monitoring of the tur market has discouraged stockpiling by both stockists and mills, further contributing to lower demand.
However, a surge in demand is expected during the upcoming sowing period, potentially leading to a rise in tur prices.
