Weak arrival and rise in prices of imported tur by importers' cartel in Mumbai, lifted tur (Maharashtra) prices in local mandis on Wednesday by Rs 100 a quintal to Rs 3900, while tur (Madhya Pradesh) rose to Rs 3450-Rs 3500 a quintal. For the past sometime, tur had been ruling low with its prices fluctuating between Rs 3700-Rs 3800 a quintal on weak demand. However, of late with decline in domestic carryover stock, delay in arrival of new tur from Madhdya Pradesh which is expected to hit local mandis in the second week of January and rise in imported tur prices by importers' cartel in Mumbai, lifted tur prices on Wednesday to Rs 3900 a quintal.

Compared with its prices last week, tur marka and tur dal (sawa no.) are ruling stable, while tur dal (full) is up by Rs 100 a quintal.
