The government will reportedly import additional 2,000 tonne of pulses in an effort to bring down prices. This will be in addition to 5,000 tonnes lying at the ports and another 2,000 tonnes of pulses that are in transit.
The retail prices of tur dal have rose up to Rs 181 per kg in most parts of the country, as against Rs 85 per kg in the year-ago period. Similarly, urad dal prices have increased up to Rs 187 per kg from Rs 99 per kg in the said period. Much of the increase was seen in these two dals, while the increase in prices of moong dal and gram were moderate.
The government apart from imports has taken several measures to check price rise. It has imposed restrictions on holding of pulses stocks beyond a ceiling and taken action against hoarders and black-marketers.
