Pulse Market Update: Toor, Urad and Chickpea Supply from India
Market note updated 10 October 2026. This is a summary of reported signals, not a live price list or a prediction of future prices.
Pulse buyers should monitor domestic arrivals, import policy, crop conditions, wholesale market trends and the exact product form. Toor, Urad and chickpeas do not necessarily move together, and retail prices are not a direct substitute for export quotations.
Recent market signals
Recent Indian reporting has described higher pulse prices and debate over whether cheaper imports or changes to import duties would ease supply pressure. Another report described increases in retail dal prices in the Mumbai region alongside tighter supply, logistics costs and seasonal demand. These reports indicate a market requiring current verification, not a uniform price direction for every pulse or export grade. See the Economic Times report on pulse prices and imports and the Times of India report on retail dal prices.
What this means for Toor and Urad buyers
Confirm the exact form—whole, split or skinned—and the specification for the intended use. For Urad used in idli or dosa batter, buyers should test the sample in their process. For Toor, define the required finish and quality limits. Do not assume domestic retail price changes translate directly into an export offer.
Chickpea and Chana procurement
For Kabuli chickpeas, specify calibre and tolerances. For Chana Dal or Besan, state the required form and, for flour, the particle-size or mesh requirement. Availability and pricing can differ by grade and processing.
