Mumbai. During the current week, the increased availability of new tur dal in producing markets and weak buying activity led to a decline in tur dal prices. The increased arrival of the new crop ensured a smooth supply in the market, while demand did not increase as expected. Due to weak demand for tur dal, purchases by dal millers remained limited this week. The lack of sufficient buying from millers meant the market did not receive the necessary support, which kept pressure on tur dal prices. Traders say that consumer-level demand remains lower than normal, and stockists are also adopting a cautious approach for the time being. According to market experts, until there is a significant improvement in demand for dal or a reduction in the arrival of the new crop, the downward trend in tur dal prices is likely to continue. The market direction in the coming days will depend on the demand and supply situation.
