New Delhi, March 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) In a bid to check the rise in prices of pulses in the domestic market, the government has allowed the millers/refiners to import 4 lakh tonnes of urad (Black Matpe) in the financial year 2021-22.
Retail prices of urad dal are ruling over Rs 100 per kg across the country, as per the prices available on the website of the Department of Consumer Affairs.
