The State-owned MMTC has floated a revised global tender increasing import quantity of chickpeas to 2,000 tonnes from Australia as pulse prices skyrocket.
In September, the trading agency had invited bids for import of 1,000 tonnes of chickpeas from the same country, which were to be finalised on October 13. The shipments were to be delivered by end of this month.
In a revised tender, MMTC has increased the import quantity to 2,000 tonnes to be purchased from Australia and delivered in Mumbai and Kolkata ports by November-end.
