Government to import additional 5,000 tonnes of tur dal

14 Sep 2015 Evaluate

The government has decided to import additional 5,000 tonnes of tur dal to increase the availability and control prices of pulses that have shot up to Rs 155 per kg. In this regards, the state-owned MMTC will float the tender soon. The first consignment for import of 10,000 tonnes of tur and urad dal is already in the pipeline and will reach by September 23.

The retail prices of pulses have risen unabated in the last few weeks due to fall in domestic output in 2014-15 crop year (July-June) in view of poor monsoon. The prices of tur dal are ruling highest in Chennai at Rs 145/kg, at Rs 135/kg in Mumbai and Rs 132/kg in Delhi and Kolkata. Similarly, urad is costing more in Chennai at Rs 125/kg, whereas in Mumbai it is available at Rs 121/kg and at Rs 112/kg in Delhi and at Rs 102/kg in Kolkata.

The government has already imposed stock limits for pulses in order to curb prices and has asked state governments to take action against hoarders. It has suspended future trading in urad and tur and also banned export of pulses.
