Bajra declines on reduced industrial offtake

Bajra prices declined by Rs 10 per quintal in lacklustre trade on the wholesale grains market today due to reduced industrial offtake.

Elsewhere, other commodities traded in a limited range in restricted activity.

Traders said reduced industrial demand against adequate stocks mainly led to decline in wholesale bajra prices.
