Chana futures prices fell by Rs 13 to Rs 2,638 per quintal on Friday as speculators booked profits at high levels, driven by a sluggish spot demand.
Increased arrivals from producing belts also put pressure on chana futures prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, chana for delivery in July fell by Rs 13, or 0.49 per cent, to Rs 2,638 per quintal, with an open interest of 2,28,490 lots.
Likewise, the commodity for delivery in June lost Rs 9, or 0.35 per cent, to Rs 2,560 per quintal, with a trade volume of 87,780 lots.
Traders said besides profit booking by speculators, sluggish demand at the spot market against adequate stocks, mainly led to fall in chana futures prices.
