The Centre on Friday imposed stock limits on tur and urad dal applicable
to wholesalers, retailers, big chain retailers, millers, and importers
in order to prevent hoarding, control price rise and unscrupulous
speculation.
Imposition of stock limits on tur and urad will be effective with immediate effect till October 31, official sources said.
Under
the order, stock limits applicable to each of the pulse individually
will be 200 MT for wholesalers, 5 MT for retailers, 5 MT at each retail
outlet, and 200 MT at depot for big chain retailers and last three
months of production or 25 per cent of annual installed capacity,
whichever is higher, for the millers.
Importers are not to hold imported stock beyond 30 days from the date of customs clearance.
The
Department of Consumer Affairs had been closely monitoring the stock
position of tur and urad through stock disclosure portal which has been
reviewed on weekly basis with the state governments.
Extensive
interactions with various stakeholders such as importers, millers, and
retailers had been held to ensure disclosure of stocks, including visits
by senior officers to states like Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh,
Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu to assess the ground situation, official
sources said.
