Imported Masoor (Mumbai):
Canada crimson variety Masoor along with Australia Masoor in Mumbai continued to trade higher by Rs 150-175 each at Rs 6,225-6,275/100Kg and Rs 6,375, respectively on improved mills’ buying support and depleting stock of imported Masoor.
Similarly, Canada crimson variety Masoor at Hajira-Mundra port inched up by Rs 150-175 at Rs 6,225/100kg and Rs 6,150, respectively, while at Kandla it was priced higher by Rs 150 at Rs 6,100/100Kg.
Demand and sale counter in processed Masoor witnessed good activity. Masoor dal traded higher at Rs 7,550/100Kg.
Consumption demand is likely to increase due to cheaper masoor as compared with Tur. Amid lesser availability of Tur, crushing is more likely to shift towards Masoor.
Moreover, depleting stock of imported Masoor and no overseas supply due to higher parity is likely to further support prices. Corporates and importers continue to accumulate stocks in the domestic market and shifted to crush domestic Masoor due to less imported stock.
There is sharp tightness in availability of Masoor due to below expectation arrivals and less inventories due to rising covid cases across India has led to call upon partial or complete lockdown in few states to control the spread.
