• Rising logistics and transportation costs
• Stock adjustments by traders after earlier price drops

Conclusion

The Chana Dal market in Nepal has shifted from a downtrend to a strong recovery phase. While prices have rebounded significantly, future movement will largely depend on import costs, Indian market trends, and domestic demand conditions.
