Pulse Import News Today

The government is strategising to alleviate the high inflation in pulses by weaning consumers away from tur to chana dal. But are Indian taste buds ready for the change? Will the Bharat Dal strategy work? Experts are doubtful.

"Import policy for tur/pigeon peas; moong and urad is revised from “restricted” to “free” with immediate effect and for the period up to October 31, 2021," the notification says. The policy will be in effect till October 31, 2021. All consignments will have to be cleared before November 30, 2021 and bill date should be October 31 or before.
