Chana prices rise 2.05 pc on high demand

NEW DELHI, July 13: Chana prices went up by 2.05 per cent to Rs 3,976 per quintal in futures trade today as participants created fresh positions, driven by rising demand from dal mills in the spot market.
Besides, tight stocks positions following drop in arrivals from producing regions, fuelled the uptrend.
