Pulses Import Surge to $2.18 Billion in Just Six Months

India's pulses imports have shot up by 73% to a staggering $2.18 billion in the first half of FY25. This surge is mainly due to high demand and some setbacks in local production. Just in September, imports jumped by 34.79%, with significant increases in tur and urad. The government has lifted restrictions to stabilize supplies, while lentil imports are expected to dip thanks to better local production.
