Trade Flow & Import Parity
India's duty-free pulse import window has fostered diversified origin sourcing. With domestic kharif urad production dampening slightly after unseasonal retreat rains in central Maharashtra, port contracts for newly harvested Australian black matpe have picked up momentum.
Delivered CIF Chennai quotes are hovering near $890/MT, establishing competitive parity against Burmese FAQ offers and helping stabilize domestic dal mill margins.
