Chana sowing holds key to pulses inflation

Chana sowing has started in some regions of India, but the progress is slow due to inadequate soil moisture and cool weather. This slow sowing is a key factor in determining pulses inflation, as chana is India's most consumed pulse and a good crop is essential for meeting demand. The slow sowing also raises concerns about the impact of state advisories to conserve water and shift to less water-intensive crops, which may affect winter sowing. This could lead to higher prices and inflation in the pulses market.

Why it matters

Adequate soil moisture and cool weather are crucial for chana sowing, which can impact pulses inflation. A good chana crop can lead to lower prices and increased supply, affecting India's food inflation.
