The government has introduced affordable dal prices across the country. The new initiative ensures that customers can now purchase dal at a subsidised rate of Rs 60 per kilogram, making it more accessible and affordable for households.
Amid growing concerns over inflation and the subsequent surge in prices of essential commodities such as tomatoes and pulses, the government has responded by taking a notable measure. In a bid to alleviate the burden on consumers, they have announced the introduction of "Bharat Dal," a well-known variety of chana dal, available at an affordable rate. This step aims to provide relief to the general public and address the prevailing economic challenges.

The government has chosen to expand the successful concept of selling tomatoes at reduced rates to include pulses as a result of realising the urgent need for action. Customers will be able to purchase chana dal, a versatile foodstuff that is popular throughout India, at a discounted price of Rs 60 per kilogramme.
This cost-effective choice will be available in 703 NAFED locations nationally, in addition to NCCF, Kendriya Bhandar, and Mother Dairy's Safal retail locations. The public will appreciate the government's move because Chana Dal is now sold in the market for prices between Rs 70 and Rs 80.
The Union's Minister of Food and Consumer Affairs, Piyush Goyal, oversaw the commencement of the subsidised Chana Dal distribution on Monday. Customers now have the option to purchase Chana Dal under the brand name Bharat Dal in one-kilogram packs for Rs 60 per kg or choose the cost-effective 30-kilogram bundles priced at Rs 55 per kg.
Recent years have seen a marked increase in the cost of pulses including arhar, moong, and urad dal. In such a situation, the availability of Bharat Dal at discounted prices offers much-needed respite to consumers nationwide.
