💨 Abstract

The Secretary of the Department of Consumer Affairs, Nidhi Khare, reported that the prices of tur and urad in major mandis have decreased by approximately 10% over the past three months. However, retail prices have not followed the same trend. For chana, mandi prices have dropped in the past month, but retail prices are still rising. The department noted that the divergence between wholesale and retail prices indicates excessive margins being extracted by retailers.
