Save the indian pulses industry from Ncdex cartel

Online Petition to save the pulses industry from Ncdex operators / manipulators

The continuous drop in prices of desi Chana has been blamed on over import in india , lack of demand at retail/ Miller level and lack of liquidity in the market

But one most prominent reason for this crash of prices and lack of demand has been the constant selling and market manipulation of certain cartel operating on Ncdex to hammer Desi Chana prices lower than Spot prices and even lower than the recommended msp price of government

Indian government is trying to protect the farmer by imposing duty on imports and by hiking msp. But Ncdex speculators are working against the goal of the government

The cartel on Ncdex is making A mockery of the government of India’s efforts by destroying the sentiment of indian pulses industry by hammering down the price of Chana futures , Chana sets the mood for the entire pulses industry so the entire industry is today at the verge of bankruptcy

indian importers are making huge losses after paying such duties as even after imposition of 30 percent duty on Desi Chana , the future prices for near month delivery on Ncdex are trading at deep discount To Spot market and below msp for far month delivery

This cartelisation should be stopped to protect bankruptcy of the indian pulses importers and millers and the entire pulses eco system
