Tur prices are expected to remain range-bound at current levels. This is due to a combination of limited supply from a smaller crop this season and lower opening stock. Simultaneously, higher prices have led to demand destruction for Tur dal, as consumers shift towards more affordable pulses like Masur, Matar, and Chana. Going forward, Tur price trends will depend on the relative prices of these substitutes, as well as the pace and volume of government procurement to replenish its buffer stock.
