The National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), an agency under the Ministry of Agriculture, currently holds approximately 1.593 million tonnes of pulses. This stock includes pulses procured from farmers at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) under the domestic segment, as well as imported pulses. It is noteworthy that NAFED is the authorized cooperative agency for the procurement of pulses, oilseeds, and copra from farmers under the Price Support Scheme (PSS) and remains actively engaged in major producing states across the country. According to available data, NAFED’s current stock consists of 0.54 million tonnes of moong, 0.46 million tonnes of tur (pigeon pea), 0.36 million tonnes of lentils (masur), 0.16 million tonnes of chana, 36,000 tonnes of urad, and 37,000 tonnes of imported lentils, totaling 1.593 million tonnes of pulses. This level is below the quantity earmarked for the buffer stock. During the 2024–25 Kharif Marketing Season, around 0.65 million tonnes of tur were procured for the central pool, marking a strong procurement performance. Procurement for the 2025–26 season has also commenced. In addition, NAFED procured nearly 50,000 tonnes of urad. In the previous Rabi season, government procurement of chana fell significantly short of the targeted level. In response, the Ministry of Agriculture has started fixing state-wise procurement quotas for chana this year. Recently, approval was granted for the procurement of 0.113 million tonnes of chana in Karnataka. Arrivals of Rabi pulses have been lower than the prescribed levels so far and are expected to begin from February–March. Meanwhile, supplies of Kharif tur are continuing in the market. Going forward, government procurement of pulses will depend on prevailing domestic market prices. At present, prices of most pulses are trading below the MSP.
