Arrivals are progressing into the next marketing season, with procurement continuing across pulse categories and origins. Procurement spans domestic MSP buying and imports, while market prices across most pulse categories remain soft — a backdrop against which the new cycle is taking shape.

The National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), an agency under the Union Ministry of Agriculture, currently holds a stock of approximately 1.593 million tonnes of pulses.
