Market Overview
The Indian pulses and lentils market is broadly divided into two segments: dal (split lentils) and whole pulses. Dal is the most popular form of pulses in India, consumed in a wide range of dishes, including soups, curries, and salads.
Domestic production of pulses and lentils in India falls short of meeting the demand, leading to significant imports. Canada is a major exporter of pulses and lentils to India, supplying over 1.5 million tonnes of lentils in 2023.
