NEW DELHI, Feb 23: Kalaunji and methiseed prices fell by Rs 200 per quintal in the national capital today on sluggish demand from retailers and stockists amid adequate stocks.
Increased arrivals from producing belts also put pressure on the select spice prices.

Marketmen said subdued demand from retailers and stockists against adequate stocks, mainly pulled down Kalaunji and methiseed prices on the wholesale kirana market here.
