Red chilli and turmeric prices drifted by Rs 200 per quintal in the national capital on Saturday due to sluggish demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks.
Increased arrivals from producing regions also put pressure on the prices.
Red chilli and turmeric prices declined by Rs 200 each to settle at Rs 5,600-11,000 and Rs 4,500-8,000 per quintal, respectively.
Marketmen said subdued demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks mainly pulled down the chilli and turmeric prices at the wholesale kirana market here.
