NEW DELHI: To augment domestic supplies state-run MMTC has invited bids for import of 15,000 tonnes of pulses to be delivered by April. Bids will close on February 8 and the decision on the tender will be taken by February 15, the company said on its website.
MMTC said it will source 3,000 tonnes each of tur (pigeon peas), urad, (black mapte) and chana (desi chick peas), and 6,000 tonnes of moong grown in the 2010 crop year in Myanmar and Australia.
Bidders should quote for a minimum quantity of 2,000 tonnes and the shipment should reach Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai ports between March and April, it said.
As there is a shortage of 3-4 million tonnes of pulses in the country, the government has authorised public trading companies MMTC, STC, PEC and cooperative Nafed to boost domestic supply through imports.
